Build vs Buy evaluating identity management
Identity and Access Management (IAM), or simply identity management, refers to a service or platform that identifies individuals and controls their access to system resources through user rights and restrictions. Identity management is important for security and increases the productivity of users by implementing a central directory: users don’t need to remember and keep track of several different usernames and passwords. IAM also helps protect companies and their users from data breaches. In 2015, the average total cost of a data breach was $3.8 million¹. Identity management can offer protection against these types of threats with security features like multifactor authentication breached password protection, anomaly detection, and more. Identity management solutions provide benefits for all types of businesses. IAM can also provide distinctly and specialized features to serve B2B, B2C, and B2E use cases. • B2B: A business provides federated identity management to another business, such as Trello allowing another business to log into Trello with their enterprise credentials. • B2C: A business provides social authentication to consumers through Facebook, Google, or other social media identity providers. • B2E: A business provides single sign-on to its own employees.

Board Directors and CEOs are seeking to better understand the risk profile and the and the security posture of the company. The questions include: • What is our risk exposure? • Is my organization’s risk posture improving? • What is our overall maturity level? • What are our most critical applications and data? • What is our remediation process? • Is this impacting revenue? CIOs and CISOs don’t have datadriven answers to these, due largely in part to the lack of overall visibility across code repositories and application deployments. It is extremely difficult, and typically manual, to correlate and aggregate security testing results. Download Now
Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks – CDM Request for Service
CDM has prescribed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) to provide cybersecurity monitoring and control of endpoint devices. EDR spans the full cybersecurity lifecycle, from the detection of events (observable occurrences in a network or system) and incidents (events that has been determined to have an impact on the organization prompting the need for response and recovery) on endpoint devices (workstations, servers, laptops, thin clients, and virtual desktops) and users, to attack responses and incident follow-up and analysis.
