The world we live in is currently undergoing a seismic change. Previous patterns of working and living have been forcibly modified. One of the most foundational of these movements are the instructions to stay at home, which are in place for many countries across the world: employees, no matter their industry or profession, have had to come to grips with remote working for long periods of time. By Mike Kiser, Senior Identity Strategist, SailPoint

Its popularity is driven by the digitalisation of the workplace which has made the network perimeter more porous. By Darran Rolls, CTO, SailPoint

Over the past decade, we have done the absolute most when it comes to passwords. We have written love letters, pontificated on strategies, and even offered tips on how to teach your mother the tricks of the trade. And it makes sense that we have done so much when it comes to our numeric and unique character friends. Once a password is compromised, the flood gates are open.

Hobbies are meant to take us away from the day-to-day of our jobs. They are a way to pursue new knowledge or a new skill. Humans have been playing board games for at least 5,000 years. There are even a few games featured prominently on Egyptian hieroglyphics or etched into the base of Assyrian winged lions so that the sentries could play. Board games not only allow us to enjoy time with friends and family, but they transport us to new places and ...

Here Paul Trulove, CPO at SailPoint delv...
