Day 16 – Identity & Access Management (IAM) Explained

Leave a Comment / Cyber Security / By

When I began consulting nearly two decades ago, companies handled identity and access with just passwords and role-lists.

In 2014, I was assisting a manufacturing firm in Nagpur hit by a suspected insider attack. Logs existed—from firewalls, servers, applications—but they were scattered, unread, and unanalyzed. The attacker’s footsteps were hiding in plain sight, but no one could connect the dots. That’s when I introduced them to a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management)

Day 20 – Hands-On Project : Pen Test a Vulnerable Web Application

Leave a Comment / Cyber Security / By
