Too Many Passwords

In a corporate environment, in a typical day, an employee will use as many as 15 password. Password-management, needless to say, has rocketed to a top security concern for IT managers.  However, heightened security measures, combined with their new rules, processes and procedures are rarely popular around the office. Simply remembering a laundry-list of passwords—and then remembering to update them regularly—is enough to wear down even the most productive among us, and eventually lead to compromised security.  It’s time for a better solution.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act

Sarbanes Oxley Section 404 mandates that all publicly-traded companies must establish internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and must document, test and maintain those controls and procedures to ensure their effectiveness.  Information technology systems and software, especially identity management software with access control and access logging capabilities, have a large role to play in providing a foundation for compliance. 

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

The Financial Modernization Act of 1999, also known as the Gramm-Leach- Bliley Act, includes provisions to protect consumers’ personal financial information held by financial institutions.  Ensuring the security of consumer’s information must be a top priority for these institutions.  Being in control of the data…who is accessing it, when and how they are accessing it, revoking and reinstating privileges…all needs to be done securely.  Without it, breeches can leave devastating effects on a company.
