If you've been paying close attention, then you know that 2023 has been a banner year for cybersecurity breaches - and you know what a big problem that is. Of those dozens of major breaches, several have involved the US government or a subcontractor, raising major concerns for the future of cloud-based storage.

One such breach, which took place in March 2023, involved the theft of thousands of records from a Washington D.C.-area healthcare provider, targeting many members of Congress and their families.

Another, which took place in the following May, involved the theft and subsequent exposure of over 200,000 records taken from the Department of Transportation database, many of which contained sensitive employee information.

These cases, while certainly alarming, are not particularly unusual. Government-level breaches remain relatively rare, but similarly scaled cyber attacks happen nearly every day in the private sector both domestically and abroad, leading to billions in losses annually.

To quell the rising tide of cybercrime, Azure IAM is offering their services as the premier security architecture firm for clients both public and private. They can create high-security implementations using Azure Federation and Azure AD, building easy-to-use but difficult-to-breach systems perfect for storing sensitive data.

Using this new service, your organization will be able to create data structures that prioritize free internal movement while protecting against outside intrusion. These implementations are ideal in the case of large-volume data storage, and can be used to minimize security checks to improve workflow.

The firm can also help to eliminate passwords as the predominant security measure for your on-premise operations. Through Azure AD, robust MFA and tokenized identity management systems can be established, which work in tandem with Azure Federation to provide a smooth end-user experience.

This update has been announced as a continuation of Azure IAM’s broader effort to help private-sector and government clients modernize their systems ahead of the impending EOS for Microsoft’s Identity Manager. While that software has formed the background of most access management infrastructure for nearly 30 years, it will be phased out in the coming months, with both Sailpoint and Azure being considered as suitable replacements.

Regardless of which system a given company chooses to switch to, Azure IAM can assist with manual data migration and network mapping. Forefront Identity Manager, which was previously used to automate the migration process, was made unavailable in 2021, which is why Azure IAM are offering their manual migration services to fill that role.

When you partner with Azure IAM, you can prevent a wide range of vulnerabilities, including phishing, password spray, impersonation, and brute force attacks. They can also assist in the implementation of on-premise solutions such as Yubikey, which allows your team to store access management infrastructure in a physical off-network medium for added security.

Creating a federated network using Azure Federation is the best way to un-silo data safely while using a cloud-based system. Ensure that only trusted individuals can access your data while keeping bad actors out - for good.

Their team is currently able to create custom network architecture models using a wide variety of first and third-party solutions, with no upper limit for organizational size.
