In today’s digital landscape, organisations face a growing challenge: Ensuring the right people have the right access. Identity and access management (IAM) is a critical pillar of cybersecurity, yet many organisations struggle with visibility into the simplest of things, like who has access to what, why, and for how long. Traditional tools often fall short, leaving security teams blind to hidden risks and insider threat.
Enter idax Risk Discovery: A quick, low-impact assessment that delivers a ‘single pane of glass’ view across all your entitlement stores. It pinpoints where to focus your attention—over-provisioned staff, privileged access, contractor entitlements, or gaps in Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) processes—so you can act before risks turn into breaches.
What idax Risk Discovery Uncovers
Idax Risk Discovery leverages advanced AI analytics to reveal hidden vulnerabilities and inefficiencies:
- JML Process Gaps
- Employees with a high percentage of all access in their department may have accumulated unnecessary permissions as they moved roles, leading to segregation of duties violations and increased risk.
- Employees shown as inactive without a termination date indicate data inconsistencies, impacting security and operational efficiency.
- Stale & Orphaned Accounts
- Accounts that are never used or inactive signal poor account management. These can be exploited by attackers and should be deactivated or removed.
- Accounts without an owner or that can’t be mapped to an employee can’t be properly risk-assessed, potentially hiding malicious activity.
- Hidden Staff
- Contractors, Third Parties, Volunteers, Students and Visitors can often be ‘hidden’ within your systems. Idax Risk Discovery highlights these blind spots, ensuring all access is accounted for.
- Privileged & Excessive Access
- Enterprise Adminswith unrestricted permissions or Domain Admins with broad access are high-risk. Access should always follow the principle of least privilege.
- Nested groupswithin Domain Admins can inadvertently grant high-risk privileges, increasing the chance of accidental or malicious misuse.
- Operational Inefficiencies
- Over-provisioned access rights not only increase security risk but also result in unnecessary costs. Identifying and remediating these can lead to significant savings.
Why Simple Insights Matter
Sometimes, the simplest measurements are the most meaningful. Simply revealing how many employees or contractors have access can provide surprising, actionable insights.
