Quick IAM wins you can implement this month: 1. Disable accounts inactive for 90+ days (you will be surprised how many there are) 2. Enable number matching on MFA push notifications 3. Block legacy authentication protocols 4. Run one access review for your most sensitive application 5. Document your top 10 service accounts and their owners None of these require a major project. All of them reduce risk immediately. Sometimes the best security improvement is not a new tool. It is using what you already have properly. #IAM #SecurityTip #CyberSecurity #QuickWin
These may seem to be small tasks when looked at individually, but completing them on a whole, would bring down the overall risk factor a lot.
I agree. New capabilities absolutely have their place. My point is that many organizations already have effective controls available but don't consistently operationalize them. Strengthening those fundamentals often provides immediate risk reduction while larger initiatives are underway.
