Even today, ease of use continues to play a significant role as we add more features.
What makes privileged accounts a problem for organizations?
Before Thycotic, I was a system administrator in a data center with thousands of servers.
Today, there are so many of those accounts that IT admins are struggling to manage them.
Typically, there are 2-5 times more privileged accounts then the number of systems in place.
My personal view is that once a cyber-criminal is inside your system, you’re in disaster recovery mode.
How easy is it to deploy and use Thycotic?
Securing privileged accounts is one of the fastest growing areas in the cyber world today.
The process is highly intuitive, requiring minimal, if any, consultation.
What can you tell us about your free tools?
We leverage a couple of areas to allow people to see if they need the full Thycotic capabilities.
These online tools include Benchmark surveys and peer reviews to evaluate the organizations' current state.
The significance of privileged account management is growing rapidly these days.
How do you see the future of cyber-crime?
Moving forward, cybercrime will become fundamental.
Cybercrime will no longer be an IT problem, but a collective effort with many human factors involved.
The next generation of work force will need to be properly trained for security “hygiene”.
There’s a lack of trust and identity validation will be the way forward.
Currently, there are 3.5 billion people using the web, and figures are continuously increasing.
This year we’ve seen some of the biggest breaches to date.
In 2016 alone, 2 billion identities and passwords were stolen; that’s two-thirds of all internet users!
What best practices would you recommend for individuals who want to secure their online identity?
