Why is privileged access important?
Last year about this time I had published updates to the
Azure Secure Workstation
that was originally released two years ago. And This month the solution has been
considerably rewritten and revised to provide a better more complete management
for privileged access!
Collaborating with two great security experts James
Noyce, and
Mark Simos
The content got a massive overhaul, and a broad perspective on what it takes to
build and manage a comprehensive privileged access solution, including account
management, device management, intermediaries such as VPN's and interfaces such
as Web and Cloud services. Additionally, the solution was uniformly designed
with three distinct security levels that anyone reading the article can deploy
from a more flexible Enterprise security, to a comprehensive isolated PAW or
privileged Access Management.
Over the past two years I've been working to explain and illustrate how you can
use a cloud-based solution to build an effective Zero trust management network,
I think that finally this capability is here.
With brazen Human Operated
Ransomware (heck ransomware at a rise!) it's important to really think about the
key principals used to manage your cloud-based solutions, and that does not
matter if your in-G-cloud, AWS, Microsoft, or any other providers cloud based
infrastructure.
As seen with the 2020 SolarWinds attack - cloud resources are
highly sought for by both nation state actors, as well as individual hackers
looking for high value services. I'm particularly proud of the design, and
hands-on deployment of a WORKING solution that James and I created that does not
only explore why this solution is important, but HOW you can get the solution
running in under a few hours.... the details to deploy the solution are here
