How Identity and Access Management Works
Identity and Access Management brings together technology, defined policies, and structured processes to ensure the right users have the appropriate level of access at the correct time.
Carden IT Services supports your organization by managing:
- User Verification: Confirming that every user accessing your systems is properly authenticated.
- Permission Management: Restricting access so employees only have the permissions required to perform their roles.
- Access Auditing: Recording and reviewing who accesses systems, when access occurs, and where connections originate.
- Automated Policy Controls: Enforcing consistent security rules across all platforms and applications.
Managed Password Policies
Passwords remain a critical part of any cybersecurity strategy. Carden IT Services helps organizations implement and enforce password standards that strengthen security without creating unnecessary frustration for users.
Our managed password policy services include:
- Smarter Password Practices: We move away from frequent forced password changes, which often result in weaker or reused passwords.
- Multi Factor Authentication: An additional verification step is added beyond usernames and passwords to significantly reduce the risk of account compromise.
- Secure Password Management: We promote the use of approved password managers so employees can safely store and generate strong credentials.
- Modern Authentication Options: Where appropriate, we reduce reliance on traditional passwords by introducing technologies such as single sign on or biometric access.
Password Management Applications
Keeping track of multiple complex passwords is unrealistic without the right tools. Password management applications solve this problem by providing a secure and convenient way to manage credentials. Carden IT Services helps organizations deploy encrypted password vaults that make strong password practices simple to follow.
Key capabilities of the password management tools we recommend include:
- Secure storage of employee credentials within encrypted vaults
- Automatic creation of strong, unique passwords for each account
- Safe autofill and credential saving across browsers and devices
- Controlled sharing of access while maintaining permission oversight
- Immediate removal of access when employees leave the organization
Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)
Usernames and passwords on their own no longer provide enough protection. Multi Factor Authentication adds an extra verification step to confirm a user’s identity and significantly reduce the risk of account compromise.
Common MFA options include:
- Authenticator App Codes: Time based verification codes generated by apps such as Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator.
- Hardware Security Keys: Physical USB devices that act as secure access keys for systems, applications, and cloud services.
- Text Message Verification: One time codes are sent to a registered mobile device for account confirmation.
