In this month’s Meet Our Team blog, we’re highlighting our Cyber Security Manager, Thomas Loving. Identity Automation wouldn’t be who we are today without an airtight security system. We pride ourselves on our ability to keep our customers and team safe from cyber threats, so it’s natural that we employ only the best to keep our data secure.

It’s my pleasure to announce a strategic partnership between Identity Automation and IGEL Technology, provider of the next-gen edge OS for cloud workspaces. Through this partnership, RapidIdentity QwickAccess secure proximity badge access solution now supports IGEL OS-powered endpoint devices for secure, high-performance clinical computing.

In terms of the traditional security structure, the cloud has changed everything— its pushed the perimeter boundaries outside the organization’s four walls. With the soft perimeter of a hybrid environment, comes the complexity of additional tools and analytics that are needed to achieve the same level of visibility as with traditional edge security devices.

At Identity Automation, we put a strong focus on our customer’s needs and strive for continuous innovation and improvement of our solutions. Therefore, we are pleased to announce the latest release of our RapidIdentity Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution, adding an enhanced user interface (UI), as well as new functionality and capabilities.

Access Management (AM), Identity Management, Identity and Access Management (IAM), and Privileged Access Management (PAM): while these terms use similar language and act to strengthen an organization’s security posture, they each have separate and distinct meanings. 

I’m overjoyed to share our latest press release announcing that Identity Automation has debuted at number 53 in the Houston Business Journal’s Fast 100, a list of the 100 fastest-growing private companies in the city.

With over 120,000 schools in the United States, it is easy to think that your district can hide safely in the noise or that among the pack, your schools are safe. While this mindset that cyber criminals have “bigger fish to fry” may give you some peace of mind, the facts instead point to a rise in cyber attacks targeting organizations exactly like yours.

Identity Automation is committed to acquiring and maintaining relationships with our outstanding team. We set high expectations, so it’s only natural that we have an exceptional director spearheading our HR department.

And we do— meet our Director of HR, Lauren South!

Recently, we discussed delegated administration, a robust tenet of modern Identity and Access Management (IAM).

The amount of coverage and attention the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) received leading up to May 2018 was intense to say the least. But even now, more than a year since that date has come and gone,organizations across the world are still either unsure or mistaken about whether they are compliant—and how to become so.
