Implementing Identity Continuity With The NIST Cybersecurity Framework
DARK Reading, Friday, August 2nd, 2024
Having a robust identity continuity plan is not just beneficial but essential for avoiding financially costly and potentially brand-damaging outages.
In the modern enterprise, where IT infrastructure, applications, and data are spread across multiple clouds, hybrid clouds, and on-premises data centers, identity ensures that the right individuals have access to the right resources at the right times. In many ways, identity is now on par with electricity when it comes to business continuity. Without it, business operations grind to a standstill.
Just as most businesses have backup power sources so they can continue to operate when their electric utility goes down, organizations should implement an identity continuity plan to maintain the availability of critical IT systems if their primary identity provider (IDP) is offline.
