Managing Third-Party Access
Many third parties are granted access to your internal networks and systems, allowing them to remotely administer your operating systems, databases, or applications. But these vendors’ security processes and policies may not be up to your standards or they may not protect their privileged credentials.
Our Approach
In many third-party relationships, sensitive data is exchanged and access to internal networks is provided. Even though these activities occur outside the direct control of your cybersecurity team, you must still contend with onboarding and managing third-parties, restricting and monitoring privileged account access, and enforcing best practices.
