In 2018, 29% of data breaches involved the use of stolen credentials. How can organizations combat this? By using context and risk-aware access management solutions that are built on the Zero Trust framework.Traditional access management solutions, such as Single Sign-On (SSO) have become the de-facto standard for managing employee access to applications and systems. Although SSO offers many security and cost benefits, it also introduces a lucrative route to your data – if any of the employee credentials are stolen, they can be used to access a broad range of cloud and on-prem systems.Adding a contextual layer to your SSO deployment can make all the difference. Unlike traditional SSO solutions, adaptive SSO uses machine learning to continuously analyze user activities, flag access events with an elevated risk of a breach, and detect anomalous behavior that can indicate in-progress attacks.In this session, we’ll discuss how adaptive SSO solutions based on the Zero Trust framework can help you secure your hybrid environment by creating dynamic, context-aware access controls.
