How Identity & Access Management Works
Identity & Access Management combines technology, policy, and process to ensure that the right people have the right access at the right time.
Carden IT Services helps you manage:
- User Authentication: Verify that every user is who they claim to be.
- Access Control: Limit permissions to what each employee actually needs.
- Account Auditing: Track and record who accesses what, when, and from where.
- Automated Policy Enforcement: Apply consistent security settings across all systems.
Managed Password Policies
Passwords are the first line of defence in any cybersecurity strategy. Carden IT Services helps you implement and enforce password policies that protect your business without frustrating your staff.
Our managed password policies include:
- No constant password resets: We discourage frequent mandatory changes, which often lead to weaker passwords.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Add an extra layer of verification beyond the standard username and password.
- Use of password managers: Encourage employees to store complex passwords securely.
- Reduced reliance on passwords: Introduce modern login options like single sign-on or biometrics.
Password Manager Apps
Remembering dozens of complex passwords is impossible. That’s where password manager apps come in. Carden IT Services helps your organisation roll out secure, encrypted password vaults that make strong password management effortless.
Features of our recommended password manager apps:
- Securely store all employee passwords in encrypted vaults
- Generate complex, unique passwords for every login
- Auto-fill and save new credentials across browsers and devices
- Manage shared access for teams while keeping control of permissions
- Instantly revoke access when staff leave your organisation
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Usernames and passwords alone are no longer enough. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds another layer of protection by requiring a second step to verify your identity.
Common MFA methods include:
- App-generated codes: Time-sensitive codes from authenticator apps like Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator.
- USB keys: Physical devices that act like secure access keys for computers and software.
- SMS codes: One-time codes sent to your registered mobile device.
Integration With Cyber-Defence
Identity & Access Management works best when integrated into your wider cybersecurity strategy. Carden IT Services ensures that your IAM solutions operate seamlessly alongside our managed IT and cyber-defence services, giving you full visibility and control.
The benefits of integration include:
- treamlined access control across your network and cloud systems
- Faster detection of login anomalies or suspicious activity
- Centralised management and reporting
