As technology landscape is changing fast, Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine language (ML), is gaining momentum. IT security vendors are keeping in pace with these trends. A key IT security vendor – Idaptive launched NextGen access (NGA) cloud in line with the AI and ML technologies.
A study by Statista projects that businesses will spend $190 billion on digital transformation in 2019 and swell to $ 490 billion by 2025 – this indicates the way industry is taking the ‘digital transformation highway’. This means more digital identities expanding beyond the security perimeter of an organization – calls for a more comprehensive security approach.
Steps in the next gen access (NGA) better insight, better situational awareness of who is doing what in a network and push those policies that needs to be in place for data access – all these form components of a zero-trust approach model.
The Idaptive Next-Gen Access Cloud platform is built on a zero-trust approach featured with integrated capabilities such as:
- single sign-on,
- adaptive multifactor authentication,
- user behaviour analytics (UBA)
- Converts raw access data into actionable intelligence by constantly learning from millions of daily logins and access attempts
- Scores user access risk across Idaptive’s global dataset to help prevent breaches
- Automatically creates individual user profiles based on login context and risk
- Reduces burden thereon by eliminating the necessity to manually outline and manage advanced rules and policies
- Increases security at scale and minimizing the threat through continuous learning
- Accommodates for the almost infinite diversity of applications, services and data located on-premises, on devices, and in the cloud
