Send us a textRansomware attacks are surging at an alarming rate - a Scottish non-profit recently reported a 100% increase year-over-year, with fraud cases expected to exceed $33 million. Even more concerning, businesses report feeling less resilient against these threats than in previous years. As cybersecurity professionals, we have a responsibility to help organizations understand and mitigate these risks before they become existential threats.Today's CISSP Question Thursday dives deep into Domain 5 concepts that directly address these challenges. We explore fifteen carefully crafted practice questions covering user account provisioning, deprovisioning, the principle of least privilege, Privileged Access Management (PAM), and identity governance. Each question targets critical knowledge areas you'll need to master for exam success while providing practical insights you can immediately apply to strengthen organizational security postures.The practice questions reveal important security principles: collecting user information must precede role assignment in the provisioning process; deprovisioning should occur immediately upon employment termination; personal preferences should never determine access rights; and PAM tools are essential for securing privileged accounts. We also examine why multi-factor authentication enhances security through multiple verification forms while Single Sign-On improves user experience by simplifying authentication processes.Whether you're preparing for the CISSP exam or looking to strengthen your organization's security practices, this episode provides actionable knowledge to protect against today's evolving threat landscape.

Send us a textIdentity management sits at the core of effective cybersecurity, yet many organizations still struggle with implementing it correctly. In this comprehensive breakdown of CISSP Domain 5.2, we dive deep into the critical components of managing identification and authentication systems that protect your most valuable assets.Starting with a timely examination of the risks involved in the proposed rapid rewrite of the Social Security Administration's 60-million-line COBOL codebase, we explore why rushing critical identity systems can lead to catastrophic failures. This real-world example sets the stage for understanding why proper authentication management matters.The episode walks through the essential differences between centralized and decentralized identity approaches, explaining when each makes sense for your organization. We break down Single Sign-On implementation, multi-factor authentication best practices, and the often overlooked importance of treating Active Directory as the security tool it truly is—not just an open database for anyone to query.For security practitioners looking to level up their authentication strategy, we examine credential management systems like CyberArk, Just-in-Time access models, and federated identity frameworks including SAML, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect. Each approach is explained with practical implementation considerations and security implications.Whether you're studying for the CISSP exam or working to strengthen your organization's security posture, this episode provides actionable insights on establishing robust authentication controls without sacrificing usability. Don't miss these essential strategies that form the foundation of your security architecture.Ready to master CISSP Domain 5.2 and all other CISSP domains?

Then we also had Martin with us a few weeks back where he talked about Single Sign-On to Power Platform!Well, today will be a great episode because we bring both colleagues together to talk about Single Sign-On from SAP via SAP Business Technology Platform API Management and Power Platform.

Talking about SSO is always a little complicated, but today we till take a closer look on how to setup principal propagation with Power Platform and SAP using the SAP OData Connector.

In episode 204 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Single Sign-On with Power Platform and SAP. Those of you following us, know that I am a huge fan of the Power Platform and SAP integration. We talked several times about the SAP ERP Connector, the SAP OData Connector, Copilot Studio and also had customers and partners joining us to talk about their solutions with Power Platform and SAP. Quite often, the first steps in getting started with Power Platform and SAP starts with Basic Authentication. That's also the way how I would recommend to start, but at some point you need to make this integration enterprise ready. This means: Single Sign-On. Well, today is your lucky day: we just expanded our Single Sign-On options for both the SAP ERP Connector and the SAP OData Connector. For this, I am really honored to have Shailja Nair and Martin Pankraz with us on the show to give us some first insights.
