Invisible or hidden risks often corrupt organizations inside out. These are hard to detect and go unnoticed for a prolonged period. Privilege Creep, one such hidden risk, is a silent security gap, where there is an accumulation of inessential access rights of employees over a period of time. This could pave the way for unauthorized access and breaches.

Managing external customer access in Jira Service Management (JSM) often seems straightforward, but it can create recurring problems for many teams: large volumes of spam tickets. When the customer portal allows anonymous submissions, bots and unsolicited traffic can freely enter the system, slowing support operations, affecting the customer experience, and introducing unnecessary security exposure. Teams usually see the same symptoms.

In the public sector, IT efficiency isn't just about convenience - it’s about fiscal responsibility and strict compliance. Government agencies often manage thousands of users across Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management (JSM). As these environments grow, so does the complexity of managing access.

Managing 5,000+ identities across your enterprise? Each one is a potential entry point for attackers—and your IAM security is only as strong as your weakest access point. This is where the most effective IAM best practices and data-driven strategies come into play.

The way teams browse, work, and share data has changed fast, and so have online threats. A Secure Web Gateway (SWG) gives you a smart, always-on filter between your users and the internet, blocking malicious sites, unsafe downloads, and risky behaviors before they cause damage. With cloud apps becoming the backbone of daily operations, an SWG ensures every web request is inspected, every threat is stopped, and every employee stays protected, whether they’re in the office or working remotely.

As with previous years, we asked identity and fraud experts to reflect on the closing year and share a few predictions for the next. You’ll get unique perspectives from fraud fighters, researchers, and an executive. We asked them about unexpected fraud trends, which tactics will become more valuable, leadership’s changing perceptions, and AI, of course. But we kicked things off with a lighthearted question.

A few years ago, an IP address was enough to identify users online ‒ almost like a physical address that indicated where they were located. Today, however, users no longer rely on a single device or location, making it far more difficult for organizations to recognize who is accessing their systems, from where, and with what level of risk.
