Many IT organizations’ mantras are innovation and agility, especially when using SaaS apps. They move so fast that security is often an afterthought, lurking in the back of their heads as something they should ensure is managed later. Later never comes. There are constant demands for more growth and expansion, and the best intentions get left by the wayside.Â
The recent Change Healthcare breach serves as a stark reminder of the critical role that authentication and access management, as well as application security, play in safeguarding sensitive data and systems. Recent reports suggest hackers compromised credentials for a SaaS app and MFA wasn’t enabled on the account.  The absence of multi-factor authentication allegedly left a remote access application exposed and vulnerable to credential compromise. Cybercriminals subsequently loitered on the US health provider’s systems for nine days before stealing data and launching a ransomware attack.
