Here are some of the important questions your organization needs to answer :
• Do we have visibility and accountability of ownership for all SSH user key-based trusts in our environment both on premises , in our cloud and to our network devices ?
• How is SSH user key-based access provided , de-provisioned and recertified for both human use and application-to-application connections ?
• Are we monitoring SSH user key-based connections ?
• Are we aware of cross-platform connections between Windows , Unix and Mainframe where SSH user keys are being used ?
The bottom line is that our network security is seriously suffering due to the mismanagement or non-management of SSH user keys .
Enterprises need to establish accountability for all credentials providing access to their systems .
These keys are like passwords on steroids , granting access to the core of a company ’ s digital assets . That creates a dangerous and potentially disastrous blind spot that must be remediated .
