First-level protection of security systems

Recently, a large number of serious information security incidents have emerged, and many companies are under heavy business security pressure from the frontline. These incidents have led CIOs of many companies to reevaluate their information security policies at the overall level, focusing on user authentication and transaction security requirements.

 

These security events suggest that any of our companies may be attacked. Attackers may launch security attacks against customers, financial and other confidential data and even intellectual property rights. To protect key information data and systems of enterprises, it is very important to deploy a comprehensive hierarchical security and authentication solution. This article provides a set of best practices for user authentication.

The first layer of security system protection

You need to manage security solutions in a hierarchical manner, which combines encryption, access policies, key management, content security, and authentication, just like any other component in the data center. These layers need to be integrated into a flexible framework that allows companies to make appropriate changes to the risks they face to adapt to relevant requirements. Each of these projects can be further subdivided to develop best practices when evaluating, deploying, and maintaining these projects within the Information Protection lifecycle (ILP.

The first step in building a secure and powerful information protection system is to identify and protect users and computer devices that access non-public areas of the company's network. A lack of proper authentication mechanisms can lead to a chain effect that affects the company's ability to protect information throughout its lifecycle.

Recent security breaches have shown weaknesses in the deployment of certification solutions. Deploying an authentication solution in a powerful way ensures that the user identity in the system is verified at entry time, which is the first layer of protection in the multi-layer information security infrastructure.
