Challenges in Mergers & Acquisitions: Mitigating Risks with Access Reviews
In Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), conducting thorough access reviews during both the due diligence phase and post-integration is crucial for the success of the deal. Why is this so important? Orphaned or unused accounts present significant cyber risks that can be exploited by malicious actors. A notable example is the Marriott-Starwood merger, where hackers exploited vulnerabilities in the system. Despite the acquisition in 2016, the breach, which compromised data of approximately 500 million customers, went undetected until September 2018.
Addressing these challenges requires a proactive approach to access governance. Effective access reviews can identify and rectify security vulnerabilities, ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to critical systems and data. By implementing robust access management practices, organizations can mitigate the risk of breaches and protect sensitive information during M&A transactions.
