Information security: how to control users?

 With so many sophisticated and intelligent cyber attacks taking place on a global scale today it has become increasingly difficult for companies to establish user control. You have probably come across the question "How do you give the necessary access to countless employees without compromising the security of corporate information?"

If the growing number of threats were not enough, issues such as privacy and data protection have become ubiquitous in the business world, as in recent years laws that seek to regulate the rights of users on the Internet are being implemented in several countries.

As an example, we have the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) in Brazil. Both create clear rules about the care a company needs to take when collecting and storing sensitive and personal data from users, as well as determining significant fines for those who break them.

In view of this scenario, user control becomes essential for companies to protect their information, without restricting the privilege of employees who use corporate computing resources.

How does user management work?

User management is the task of IT to control and verify users, as well as their group and access permissions to the company's various technological resources such as systems, devices, applications, storage systems, networks, IaaS services and much more .

However, the big challenge is to carry out real control of these accesses, both for internal and external users, so that each person has their operational efficiency and can use only what is necessary for their function and not the entire system.

It is the Information Security Engineer who conducts log analysis and other network forensic investigations. They provide full cooperation to the appropriate teams for participating in cyber investigations.

That's why user management becomes so critical. Through it, you can provide efficiency, security and ease so that activities are not interrupted and, at the same time, ensures that IT can have a high level of control over the entire environment.
