Increasing threat of data breach due to insider attacks

Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI)

Banking and financial industries are the sectors that mainly deal with the national and international regulations such as Basel-III, GLBA, and SOX. In the banking sector, privileged identity management solutions deal with the identification of individuals associated with banks and controlling and managing their access privileges. Privileged identity management has become one of the most important issues for financial institutions and requires high-level security. For this, many financial firms are developing better IT infrastructure to secure customer data and assets from cyber breaches. Identity management solutions are also being utilized to address complex compliance processes and manage access changes with adherence to firm policies.

Government

Privileged identity management has become one of the most important aspects of the government and defense sector. The concept of e-governance has led the government to focus more on identity thefts. Moreover, as organizations are shifting toward real-time communication, thefts from web browsing email correspondence, peer-to-peer traffic, and file exchange have considerably increased. Almost 90% of IT leaders believe government needs to be involved in setting up the cyber defense strategies to protect their own IT infrastructure and that of the private sector. Privileged identity management solutions must be developed and implemented to protect the electronic identities from attacks by hackers, as well as to strengthen their flexibility against natural corrosion and unplanned threats such as equipment shut downs and user errors.

Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals

Some of the major hacking cases in the healthcare industry have led to increased security against cyber threat in this sector. Financial data has always been the prime target for attackers, but these days medical data is also becoming one of the lucrative targets. Individual’s identity could be stolen directly from hospitals, health insurance companies, and any system that manages medical record. Social security numbers, insurance IDs, addresses, and medical detail are some of the factors for cyber threats, because they usually contain valuable data, including personal information such as social security numbers and addresses and credit card information. These issues are increasing the requirement for identity management solutions in the healthcare and life sciences department.

Manufacturing

Manufacturers are harnessing a new generation of machine-to-machine systems, mobile apps, and cloud-based services. Moreover, manufacturers cannot make or sell their products without close relation with their suppliers which leads to sharing of data back and forth. Therefore, manufacturing companies increasingly rely on software to automate processes, manage supply chains, and facilitate Research and Development (R&D), and the digitization of processes and products. This has also increased the threat of cybercrime within the industry. Challenges of information security, compliance issues, and supply chain management are some of the factors that are pushing big manufacturing companies to approach identity management vendors to smoothen the functioning of their organizations. Further, the operators working in the manufacturing enterprise require system access and efficient automated processes. These issues can be resolved using privileged identity management solutions that can help in better handling and management of external identities and access using SSO of their partners and stakeholders.

Critical questions the report answers:

• Where will all these developments take the industry in the mid to long term?
