As an HR Administrator or Manager, there are many protocols to consider when onboarding, off-boarding employees. Every time someone enters your team, you are handing out sensitive information. Here, we will explore how a privileged access management (PAM) system like Foxpass helps keep breaches from previous and current employees from happening.

Off-boarding Employees:

Human resource teams constantly onboard and off-board new employees. But when employees leave a company, they take with them valuable information like account logins, Wi-Fi® passwords, and portal/terminal entrances. According to Forbes, improper employee off-boarding can cause big cybersecurity risks such as data loss, compliance violations, breaks in confidentiality, data breach, ruined reputation, and wasted spending. 

Our Cloud-Hosted LDAP is an employee directory that helps with onboarding and off-boarding employees by keeping their credentials and access permissions in a centralized location. This helps with keeping an organized account of who does and does not have privileges to prevent a high potential for security breaches.

Onboarding Employees 

There is an even higher risk with current employees to third-party cybercriminals who aim to break in through methods like malware. According to Security Intelligence, over 75% of security breach incidents come from insider threats. Teams must also think about managing access to those inside the business. 

Cloud-Hosted Radius enables individual users to be assigned permissions. It gives power back to the administrators to give and take away the amount of access an employee may have to an account or device. 

Another solution is Single Sign-On (SSO). This allows employees to automatically log in to all accounts through a single login. As an admin, you can also give and take away an employee’s login credentials via SSO after they are done with the account. 

Conclusion: PAM as the end-all-be-all solution

PAM makes it easier for HR teams and lessens the worry of potential threats. Foxpass offers Cloud-Hosted LDAP & Radius and SSO, for your business to protect your information from anyone that once had exposure to your information. And if you use Google Workspace, Okta, or Office365 in your HR workflow, we now integrate with these services.

Foxpass this month came out with a new feature: Single Sign-On (SSO). SSO lets a user log in once such as to their Identity Provider network and then reuses information to log users to various Service Providers such as AWS or Google workspace.

Organizations these days use many different cloud services and third-party Web applications it can become cumbersome for employees to type in username/password, and even go through MFA, every time they need to log in to these Cloud services. As for users of Foxpass, our SSO requires less switching from one account to another. If you're logged in from Foxpass, you can log in to other service providers at the click of a button.

We are excited to announce two new, long-awaited features: session recording and PagerDuty integration.

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a client-server networking protocol that runs in the application layer. The RADIUS protocol uses a RADIUS Server and RADIUS Clients.

Security and data breaches are becoming alarmingly common in the current technological world. Every day brings news of more and more data being compromised, with reports suggesting that 7 million data records are compromised every day.

Albert Gonzalez, a former Secret Service informant, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2010 for hacking more than 130 million debit and credit card numbers, namely from the card processing company Heartland Payment Systems–the largest data breach in US history.
