Eliminating standing admin privilege for Microsoft 365

Dec 11, 2025 By Maor Franco In CyberArk
Why we’re bringing Zero Standing Privileges to M365, and why it matters. In the past decade, we collectively agreed that standing access to infrastructure is a security failure. No credible security team allows permanent root access on production servers or standing SSH keys for cloud instances. We built vaults, we implemented session recording, and we moved to Just-in-Time (JIT) access for infrastructure.

The future of privilege: Dynamic identity security in real time

Dec 11, 2025 By Amy Blackshaw In CyberArk
Privilege is no longer a static control. It shifts dynamically with every action taken by an increasingly dynamic set of users, workloads, and AI agents, making traditional reliance on static credentials outdated and unfit for modern, fast-paced hybrid environments. As a result, organizations now need to evolve to a more agile and adaptive approach to securing privilege, one that can effectively handle the sheer volume and complexity of identities operating across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid ecosystems.

Why Choose Active Directory Management Over Manual Scripts

Dec 11, 2025 By Puja More In miniOrange
A mid-sized company once tried to handle all its AD updates with a set of PowerShell scripts. Things worked fine while the user count was small, but trouble showed up once they crossed a thousand accounts. A script missed a group update, a disabled user stayed active for two extra days, and a bulk change took almost an entire afternoon to fix. None of this was a technical failure. It was the natural limit of manual scripting.

How AI agent privileges are redefining cyber insurance expectations

Dec 9, 2025 By Yuval Moss In CyberArk
When ransomware drove record losses, insurers began scrutinizing basic controls like multi-factor authentication (MFA), backups, and endpoint detection. Now, AI-driven automation is introducing a new category of risk—AI agents—and insurers are responding with heightened attention to privilege management. AI agents are non-human identities that can approve payments, access sensitive data, and execute commands using powerful API keys.

How RBAC Simplifies Active Directory Delegation and Strengthens AD Security

Dec 9, 2025 By Puja More In miniOrange
An IT helpdesk handling access requests all day is not unusual. A Finance hire waits for folder access because it has to be added manually. A contractor’s permissions stay active weeks after their project ends because no one tracks every group they were added to. These small gaps turn into bigger security risks when the environment grows. This happens when Active Directory permissions depend on individual updates and scattered delegation. Access becomes inconsistent.

Azure Tenant Hardening Basics: Identity, Conditional Access, and "Default Safe" Settings

Azure Tenant Hardening Basics: Identity, Conditional Access, and "Default Safe" Settings

Dec 8, 2025 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
When you spin up a new Azure tenant, it's easy to assume that Microsoft has locked the doors and barred the windows for you. The interface is sleek, the services are powerful, and the infrastructure is world-class. But here is the uncomfortable truth: while the cloud infrastructure is secure, your specific configuration of it likely isn't. A default Azure Active Directory (now Microsoft Entra ID) environment is designed for usability and adoption, not maximum security. It prioritizes getting your team connected over keeping bad actors out.
