Is your organization prepared for a fresh wave of cybersecurity threats in 2024? If you’re still using old protocols to protect your network, you’re in trouble. It’s time you called Connect Express Consultants for a bespoke solution based on the latest IAM tech.
Developments in AI offer new ways to approach and solve complex problems; however, its accessibility and availability have also given cybercriminals a new weapon to refine phishing campaigns and other methods of attack. In fact, CyberArk’s 2023 Identity Security Threat Landscape Report found that nine out of 10 security experts are concerned about AI-enabled threats.
The still-evolving cybersecurity landscape is what prompted Connect Express Consultants to develop a multi-layered identity and access management (IAM) solution that offers zero-trust security and total network visibility. Learn more at https://connect-express.com/
Connect Express Consultants’s multi-layered solution takes advantage of Cisco Duo, Cisco ISE, and a double-firewall geo-block configuration that protects from attacks from both within and outside the organisation.
“This 2024, businesses can only expect cybersecurity threats to intensify, as technology like AI has bolstered the capabilities of bad actors,” a spokesperson for the firm said. “A single solution is not enough, which is why we opted to combine the most advanced IAM tools and technology available today to create this proprietary solution.”
The first layer of security this solution provides is multi-factor authentication (MFA) administered through Cisco Duo. This MFA software thwarts unauthorised access by requiring a device, such as a smartphone, as a secondary means of verification.
Apart from providing a secondary layer of protection, Connect Express Consultants recommends Cisco Duo owing to its integrability with existing network infrastructure and its user-friendliness—something that your staff will appreciate.
In addition to Cisco Duo, Connect Express Consultants enables the enforcement of security policies across all devices connected to a company’s network through Cisco ISE. This allows your IT team to see all devices connected to your network, including the ones from dubious sources trying to gain access. Cisco ISE also enforces access protocols, ensuring that only the right person with the right device has access to your network.
Geo-blocking technology forms the last layer of the network security firm’s IAM solution. Its implementation differs in that Connect Express Consultants creates a secondary firewall that filters access attempts from all types of users, specifically remote access users who have found a way to bypass the first firewall.
Connect Express Consultants has been designing, implementing, and securing networks for UK enterprises since 1997. It is a Cisco Premier Partner and has met ISO standards for information security management systems, earning the coveted ISO/IEC 27001 certification.
