Once that occurs, you’re now in incident management, and part of good cyber security practices is making it so that incidents are prevented rather than responded to.

Here at SecureTab, we’re like any business cyber-security provider in Canada in that we’re explicitly aware of the need for identity management within our cyber security platforms. Determining the best and most trustworthy ways to give customers the peace of mind in knowing that restricted access remains just that – restricted – is something we’ve put a lot of time into.

Solid information access management practices begin with understanding why these protocols are needed and what are best practices related to them, followed by implementation and testing to ensure protocols are failsafe.

New approaches to identity and access management are needed because having just one ‘block’ in place just doesn’t cut it anymore when it comes to maintaining access restrictions to sensitive data. How we’ve approached this is with the belief that identity and access management now needs to be more continuous, proactive, and intelligent.
