El identity and access management (IAM) es un conjunto de procesos y tecnologías que se utilizan para administrar y proteger los datos y recursos de una organización. Se trata de un componente fundamental de la seguridad de la información y es esencial para proteger los datos de clientes, empleados y socios comerciales.
Hablamos de un enfoque sistemático para la gestión de las identidades y los accesos de los usuarios a los recursos de la organización. Esto incluye la identificación y autenticación de los usuarios, la autorización de los usuarios para acceder a los recursos, la gestión de las cuentas de usuario y la supervisión del acceso de los usuarios.
¿Por qué es tan importante una buena gestión y estrategia?
La gestión de identidad y acceso es particularmente importante en un entorno en el que las organizaciones tienen que hacer frente a amenazas cada vez más sofisticadas. Los ciberdelincuentes pueden utilizar una variedad de técnicas para obtener acceso no autorizado a los sistemas de información.
Por tanto, una buena estrategia de IAM incluye la gestión de contraseñas, la autenticación de múltiples factores y la gestión de privilegios. La gestión de contraseñas es especialmente importante, ya que si son débiles o comprometidas, son una de las principales vías por las que los ciberdelincuentes pueden obtener acceso no autorizado.
Además, también ayuda a cumplir con los requisitos legales y normativos. Las leyes y regulaciones relacionadas con la privacidad de datos y la protección de información personal exigen que las organizaciones tomen medidas para garantizar que sólo las personas autorizadas tengan acceso a la información confidencial. La implementación de una estrategia de IAM puede ayudar a cumplir con estos requisitos, lo que puede evitar sanciones y multas.
La gestión de identidad y acceso es esencial para proteger los datos y los recursos de una organización. Con una estrategia de IAM bien diseñada y ejecutada, una organización puede asegurarse de que sólo las personas autorizadas tengan acceso a los recursos y datos necesarios para realizar sus funciones y responsabilidades y así, protegerse contra los ataques no deseados.
Además, se consigue mejorar la eficiencia y productividad de los empleados, mejorar la confianza y la reputación de la empresa frente a sus clientes.
En Soffid proporcionamos todos los servicios necesarios para poner en práctica una correcta implementación de IAM con una garantizando que el sistema cumpla con todos los requisitos de estabilidad, escabilidad y rendimiento.

How to protect yourself from cybercrime? The cybercriminals have been targeting airports, and the travel industry in general. Because people tend to let their guard down when they travel. This posture is doubly compromised when you are the on-point admin for so much of your network.
Protect yourself from cybercrime while you travel
No matter where your wanderlust takes you, you can protect yourself from cyber risks. So before you go on vacation or business, take these steps to protect yourself from the dangers of cybercrime.
-
- Verify each Wi-Fi network before connecting. Look for official notifications regarding the network connection and make sure the name is accurate. Additionally, be aware of any notifications related to the computer being used on a shared network. If you are a system administrator, hopefully you either have a VPN in place, a jump box, or another form of technical security in place.
- Always keep your devices with you and avoid leaving them unattended in public places. Don’t forget to add password protection and encryption to sensitive files as well; this will ensure that any data stored on your device remains secure even if it falls into the wrong hands.
- Arm yourself with dual factor authentication, so if you are an executive or entrepreneur, and your account is somehow exempted in any way from MFA policies, change that immediately.
- Leave Blueprints so you will always have coverage. Even if you don’t have someone on staff, bring in a partner, a trusted advisor, or even someone with a related but indirect role.
These are just the basics of protection. But they become much more important once you access things as an IT professional or a system administrator.
You are a target and to malicious outsiders, between travel and your role, you are a weak point to target.

Cyber-Attacks Set To Become «Uninsurable»
This is the stark assessment from Mario Greco, chief executive at insurer Zurich, one of Europe’s biggest insurance companies, speaking to the Financial Times.
Amid growing concern among industry executives about large-scale cyber-attacks, Greco warned that cyber-attacks, rather than natural catastrophes, will become “uninsurable”. For the second year in a row, natural catastrophe-related claims are expected to top $100bn, the FT reported.
Cyber-attacks have continued to plague multiple industries in recent years, some of whom are doing little to prevent future attacks, when they opt to pay hackers and criminal gangs (against all security professional advice) to unlock their ransomware crippled systems or call off DDoS attacks.
Zurich’s Mario Greco praised the US government’s steps to discourage ransom payments. hence “If you curb the payment of ransoms, there will be fewer attacks,” he told the Financial Times.
In September 2022, Lloyd’s of London defended a move to limit systemic risk from cyber attacks by requesting that insurance policies written in the market have an exemption for state-backed attacks. A senior Lloyd’s executive said the move was «responsible» and preferable to waiting until «after everything has gone wrong».
Identifying those responsible for an attack is challenging, making such exemptions legally fraught, and cyber experts have warned that rising prices and bigger exceptions could put off people buying any protection.
There was a limit to how much the private sector can absorb. Especially In terms of underwriting all the losses coming from cyber attacks, Greco said. He called on governments to «set up private-public schemes to handle systemic cyber risks that can’t be quantified. Following Similar to those that exist in some jurisdictions for earthquakes or terror attacks».
These are the data:
- According to Security Magazine. There are over 2200 attacks each day which breaks down to nearly 1 cyberattack every 39 seconds
- With around 2,220 cyberattacks each day, that equates to over 800,000 attacks each year.
- According to Cybint, nearly 95% of all digital breaches come from human error.
Cyber security experts share their prediction for the most impactful threat vectors and cyber risks of 2023, so when they were asked in mid-2022 by Cyber Security Hub which threat vectors posed the most dangerous threat to their organizations on 2023, 75% of cyber security professionals said social engineering and phishing.
Since the survey closed, multiple organizations such as Dropbox, Revolut, Twilio, Uber, also LastPass and Marriott International have suffered from such attacks further highlighting the importance to cyber security practitioners of staying aware of phishing threat.
Privileged account management is the IT security process of using policy-based. Software and strategies to control who can access sensitive systems and information. Basically Privileged accounts rely on credentials (passwords, keys, and secrets) to control access. By creating, storing, and managing these credentials in a secure vault. Also Privileged account management controls authorized access of a user, process, or computer to protected resources across an IT environment.

Every company must face the new cybersecurity challenges and for this there is a new approach. «Developing a fully integrated strategic approach to cyber risk is fundamental to manufacturing value chains as they align with the operational technology (OT) and IT environments—the driving force behind Industry 4.0«, Deloitte said recently.
With the advent of Industry 4.0, threat vectors are expanding. That is why new risks must be considered and addressed. The main objective will be to implement a safe, vigilant and resilient cyber risk strategy. When supply chains, factories, customers, and operations are connected, the risks of cyber threats increase. The risks are enhanced and have a greater scope, he added.
Adopting new approaches and challenging conventional thinking is essential in an increasingly digitized world. “In terms of security, if we’re not moving forwards and developing, then we are effectively going backwards because our adversaries will definitely be moving forward,” commented Johnson (partnerships and outreach manager (digital and STEM), founder and director of Women in Cyber Wales)
Technology change has been beneficial to both organizations and its employees. The adoption of technological innovations by organizations has skyrocketed in recent decades. increase global spending on technology across all industries.
The adoption of new technologies brings many benefits to the company. At the same time it comes with risks and free threats. The new technology must fit perfectly into the business. If the right fit is not ensured the sustenance will be at large risk.
The adoption of new technologies to overcome cybersecurity challenges
New technology while adopting create internal conflict in an organization. They are such as managerial, Technological, sociological and economic related. There are several attributes of conflicts and they are usability, interoperability, common business views, agility, scalability, reliability, openness, manageability, infrastructure and security. Here Security assumes major role.
With data breaches continuing to pose a threat to any emerging technology, it’s critical to think about a good investment in cybersecurity. The increase in technology exists in any type of business, from health care, finance, manufacturing, services or any other. In order for these companies to be able to exploit them efficiently and prosper, they must put into practice cybersecurity policies and practices.
It is necessary to adequately analyze the security risks of the technology that will be implemented. In addition, before institutionalizing technologies, effective strategies must be implemented.
Why Security Standards Are Important
Conformance with established standards and best practices is essential for increasing the protection baseline in cybersecurity. Many organisations lack personnel experienced in the domain and, therefore, have a hard time adopting new approaches and techniques. Education is an important component, but in-depth knowledge is hard to transfer.
Thus, certification methodologies that distil certain best practices into structured, easy-to-apply guidelines have an important role in the proliferation of cybersecurity innovation.
The Evolution of Threat Hunting
Threat hunting continues to evolve for organizations that focus on proactively detecting and isolating Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) that might otherwise go undetected by traditional, reactive security technologies.
While many SOCs are struggling to cope with the current security threat workload, more organizations are adopting threat hunting as part of their security operations. They are discovering that proactive threat hunting can reduce the risk and impact of threats while improving defenses against new attacks.
