A recent report found that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) hasn’t always terminated Personal Identity Verification cards or security clearance for ex-employees. And that many issues around access management still remain. Although the Office of Inspector General (OIG) identified these weaknesses and offered clear recommendations back in 2018, many of these issues remain unresolved; others won’t be implemented until 2024. Of further concern, due to questionable record keeping, the exact magnitude of the problem can’t be determined.
Let’s explore how the AlertEnterprise Guardian Physical Identity Access Management (PIAM) specifically addresses the six most recent OIG recommendations and can help the DHS and companies across all industries digitally transform their identity security, credentialling and access management program.
A major overhaul in their off-boarding process will certainly go a long way in creating a safety net and revoking access. However, that’s still not the be-all and end-all solution. If systems and departments operate in siloes, a major gateway to security attacks will remain. Because when systems don’t operate congruently, attacks can’t effectively be monitored or stopped in their tracks. And that’s exactly what the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warned against in their recent Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Convergence Action Guide.
