What are the most effective IAM metrics for Information Security?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Information security (InfoSec) is the practice of protecting data, systems, and networks from unauthorized access, use, or damage. Identity and access management (IAM) is a key component of InfoSec, as it ensures that only the right people have the right access to the right resources. However, how can you measure the effectiveness of your IAM policies and processes? In this article, we will discuss some of the most effective IAM metrics for InfoSec, and how they can help you improve your security posture, compliance, and user experience.

1 IAM Maturity

One of the first IAM metrics you should track is your IAM maturity level. This metric assesses how well your IAM strategy aligns with your business goals, how comprehensive and consistent your IAM policies are, and how automated and integrated your IAM tools are. You can use a maturity model, such as the Gartner IAM Program Maturity Model, to evaluate your current state and identify areas for improvement. A higher IAM maturity level indicates a more robust and effective IAM program that can support your InfoSec objectives.

Effective IAM metrics for information security include measuring user provisioning and de-provisioning time, user access review compliance, password policy adherence, failed authentication attempts, access request and approval efficiency, privileged access usage, and incident response time. These metrics help ensure timely access management, alignment with security policies, authentication security, detection of unauthorized access attempts, streamlined access provisioning, monitoring of privileged accounts, and prompt incident response to mitigate security risks.

Métricas eficazes de Identity and Access Management (IAM) para seguran?a da informa??o incluem a taxa de ado??o de autentica??o multifator, o tempo médio para detectar acesso n?o autorizado, o tempo médio para remover acessos de usuários desligados, a taxa de privacidade de dados, a acurácia de atribui??o de fun??es e privilégios, o número de acessos negados por tentativas de acesso suspeitas, e a conformidade com políticas de seguran?a e regulamenta??es. Monitorar essas métricas permite avaliar a eficácia das práticas de IAM, identificar áreas de melhoria e fortalecer a seguran?a da informa??o na organiza??o.

Make sure when you are looking at your IAM maturity, that you are using a reference model that is reasonably current - if you are relying on 14 year old models, the technology and metrics would have changed and so your reference framework no longer has any meaning.

Here are some of the most effective IAM metrics for Information Security: IAM Maturity Level: This assesses your overall IAM strategy and its effectiveness. IAM Compliance Rate: Measures adherence to relevant security regulations. MFA Adoption Rate: Tracks how many users leverage Multi-Factor Authentication. Access Policy Violation Rate: Indicates how often users attempt to access unauthorized resources. Failed Login Attempts: Helps identify potential hacking attempts or password hygiene issues.

2 IAM Risk

Another important IAM metric is your IAM risk score. This metric measures the potential impact and likelihood of IAM-related incidents, such as data breaches, identity theft, or account compromise. You can use a risk framework, such as the NIST Risk Management Framework, to identify and prioritize your IAM risks based on factors such as threat sources, vulnerabilities, controls, and consequences. A lower IAM risk score indicates a more secure and resilient IAM environment that can protect your data and assets.

3 IAM Compliance

A third IAM metric you should monitor is your IAM compliance status. This metric reflects how well your IAM practices comply with the relevant laws, regulations, standards, and policies that apply to your industry, sector, or organization. You can use a compliance checklist, such as the ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management System, to verify and document your compliance with the requirements and best practices for IAM. A higher IAM compliance status indicates a more trustworthy and accountable IAM system that can meet your legal and ethical obligations.

IAM compliance and maturity should be measured across the organisation - reference models are fine, but without a clear understanding on where information exists, and who should have access to that information at any given time then you are starting at the final stage before even the basics are completed.

4 IAM Performance

A fourth IAM metric you should measure is your IAM performance level. This metric evaluates how efficiently and effectively your IAM processes and functions operate, such as provisioning, authentication, authorization, auditing, and reporting. You can use performance indicators, such as the time, cost, quality, and satisfaction of your IAM activities, to benchmark and optimize your IAM performance. A higher IAM performance level indicates a more agile and reliable IAM service that can deliver value to your users and stakeholders.

5 IAM User Behavior

A fifth IAM metric you should analyze is your IAM user behavior pattern. This metric examines how your users interact with your IAM system, such as how often they log in, what resources they access, what actions they perform, and what anomalies they encounter. You can use user behavior analytics (UBA), such as the User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) framework, to detect and respond to abnormal or malicious user behavior that may indicate a security threat or a user error. A more consistent and predictable IAM user behavior pattern indicates a more secure and user-friendly IAM experience.

Utilizar métricas que envolvem o comportamento do usuário s?o excelentes para analisar se as suas barreiras est?o efetivas. Se nesta análise for identificado que o usuário n?o está utilizando as ferramentas adequadamente, você pode analisar os motivos de isso estar acontecendo e melhorar o processo. Pode ter algum passo que esteja dificultando a ades?o, e se for corrigido irá aumentar significativamente a seguran?a do seu ambiente. Ou quem sabe o usuário precisa de mais treinamento para uso da ferramenta? Lembre-se que o usuário está na linha de frente, portanto utilize as métricas a seu favor e atue assertivamente.

6 IAM Reporting

A sixth and final IAM metric you should leverage is your IAM reporting capability. This metric determines how well you can collect, organize, visualize, and communicate your IAM data and insights to your audience, such as your management, auditors, regulators, or customers. You can use reporting tools, such as dashboards, charts, graphs, and tables, to present your IAM metrics in a clear and concise manner. A more comprehensive and informative IAM reporting capability indicates a more transparent and actionable IAM program that can support your decision-making and improvement.
