Securing your Third-Party Onboarding Solution
Third party access requests form one of the most useful areas of identity governance and access (IGA). They are also one of the most vulnerable breach vectors. Unsecured third-party access has lead to some of the most infamous data breaches, not the least of which being the 2013 Target HVAC hack. Post-pandemic, where a remote workforce can be sourced from hundreds of miles away, more and more companies are moving to remote onboarding. As a result, these face an uptick in data breach and ransomware attacks through multiple vectors. These include third-party credentials, third-party onboarding, and unsecured access governance.
A secure third-party onboarding solution seeks to remedy this issue and tighten up potential attack surfaces. By diligently controlling both internal and external access to your resources, you significantly lower the chance of unauthorized entry. Additionally, by augmenting your onboarding process with automation, you head-off even more potential issues. These range from automatically removing unneeded permissions (thus eliminating the dangers of orphaned accounts) to immediately denying access to suspicious users. The latter is of particular importance, as remediation forms a core aspect of an effective cybersecurity strategy.
