Netwrix, a vendor specialising in cybersecurity solutions focused on data and identity threats, released the new component of Netwrix Privilege Secure, which simplifies secure remote access for distributed workforces and third-party vendors. The new add-on reduces the attack surface by eliminating traditional VPN dependencies through granular, identity-based access control. It enables employees to access critical systems securely from any location, grants just-in-time privileges to reduce risks, and simplifies managing vendor and third-party access with temporary, controlled permissions. Remote access capabilities “As more organisations adopt Zero Trust Architecture, securing remote access has become an integral part of this strategy,” says Michael Tweddle, Chief Product Officer at Netwrix. “Netwrix’s secure remote access capabilities allow organisations to apply Zero Trust policies to privileged users accessing critical systems remotely and ensure that no user or device is inherently trusted, regardless of their location or network.” Key benefits of Netwrix Privilege Secure Key benefits of the latest enhancement of Netwrix Privilege Secure include: Quick Setup: Simplifies deployment with minimal infrastructure changes, allowing organisations to get up and running faster. VPN-Less Connectivity: Enhances security with identity-based access, reducing latency and removing the complexities of traditional VPNs. Granular Access Controls: Ensures precise control over who accesses what, minimising the risk of unauthorised access. Advanced Auditing Capabilities: Provides comprehensive session monitoring and logging for improved oversight to simplify decision-making processes in IT teams and accelerate investigation in case of spotting abnormalities. Integrated Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Strengthens remote access security by requiring MFA for all remote connections.

Netwrix, a cybersecurity vendor that makes data security easy revealed additional findings for the education sector from its survey of 1,610 IT and security professionals from more than 100 countries. According to the survey, 69% of organisations in the education sector suffered a cyberattack within the last 12 months.  Phishing, account compromise Phishing and user account compromise was the most common attack paths for these organisations, while phishing and malware (such as ransomware) topped the list for other verticals.  What’s more, 3 out of 4 attacks (75%) in the education sector were associated with a compromised on-premises user or admin account, compared to 48% for other sectors. Security training Even if identity management is automated, it is a challenge to keep users trained in security best practices" “Organisations in the education sector handle a variety of accounts, staff, third-party contractors, educators, students, and alumni that have a high turnover rate. Even if identity management is automated, it is a challenge to keep users trained in security best practices because there is a continual supply of newcomers,” says Dmitry Sotnikov, VP of Product Management at Netwrix. “In addition, students may lack experience in spotting phishing emails or fake websites asking for their credentials. To address these challenges, it is essential to mandate security training within the first few weeks and repeat it regularly.” Automated detection and response solutions “To enable research and collaboration, educational institutions often provide a variety of shared devices and systems exposed to the internet creating a massive attack surface,” says Dirk Schrader, VP of Security Research at Netwrix. “To mitigate risk, it is crucial to enforce strong password policies that prevent the use of weak and compromised passwords, implement multifactor authentication (MFA), and adhere to the least privilege principle. In addition, automated detection and response solutions can help IT deal with account compromise and abuse in a controlled and efficient manner.”
