In the last twenty years, privileged access management (PAM) has gone through many evolutions to keep pace with the ever-changing cyberthreat landscape. Still, a vital risk remains front and center: Privileged accounts are crucial for the day-to-day work of admins, but they are usually needed for only short periods of time — the rest of the day, they can be compromised by attackers and misused by insiders.

Old-school PAM solutions reduce this risk only to some extent, while being costly and time-consuming to deploy. But it doesn’t have to be this way! In this session, we’ll explore a modern, easy-to-adopt approach that deals with this core problem head-on.

Join this session to learn how you can:
- Leverage privilege orchestration to remove known attack surfaces when at rest
- Dynamically delegate access according to use case without impeding admin efficiency
- Quickly adopt modern PAM tools to centrally control and audit access

Security Renaissance: Why it's time to break with old-school PAM solutions

This is a Identity professionals have traditionally focused on compliance and governance activities, while leaving Security Operations to the Cybersecurity team to monitor the endpoint (EDR) and network (NDR), potentially missing Identity Threats. Cloud adoption has made identity a primary target for cyber security attacks, making it one of the key vectors of attack expansion after infiltration.

As a result, Identity professionals need to consider an Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) program and how to integrate it into their organization’s larger Security Operations Center (SOC). In this webinar, we will discuss the considerations that should be made when bringing on an ITDR program and how to incorporate it into an organizations larger SOC program. By doing so, you can ensure that your organization is well-protected against identity-based cyber threats.shell webinar

Adapting to a New Paradigm in Security: Implementing Identity Threat Detection and Response in Your SOC

La transition numérique du secteur de la santé, bien qu'indispensable, a augmenté considérablement le nombre de cyberattaques. Des plus petites structures aux grands hôpitaux, tous sont devenus des cibles privilégiées pour les cybercriminels. En réponse à cette menace croissante, le gouvernement a mis en place le programme CaRE, conçu pour renforcer de manière durable la cybersécurité des établissements de santé.

Lors de ce webinar Boris ROYER Et Jean-Christophe RADIUS de l’hôpital St Joseph, vont vous présenter leur retour d’expérience sur la mise en place d’une solution d’IGA (Gestions des identités et des accès) un des éléments clés du Programme CaRE.

Les points clés abordés pendant ce webinar seront :  
- La gestion des accès aux systèmes d'information
- Le provisioning et déprovisioning automatiques
- Les campagnes de revues des accès
- Comment Netwrix Usercube a leurs aide avec la mise en place du Programme CaRE
- Le ROI d’un tel projet

Programme CaRE : les réponses apportées par la gestion des identités et accès (IGA)

Groups are the fundamental way we manage access both inside Active Directory to control privileged access and readability of directory information as well as outside AD, throughout the rest of your network, to manage both end-user access to information and applications and privileged access to systems relying on AD. 

The biggest issues that contribute to group-based risks include:
There’s no direct way to see all the entitlements a group has across your hybrid on-prem and multi-cloud environment
You frequently find multiple groups with nearly the same name and many of the same users – but not quite
Ownership of groups and criteria for membership is frequently unclear and therefore groups are allowed to grow stale; members are added but never removed
Group-nesting is powerful and has a legitimate use but it can quickly get out of control leading to shocking and unintended results

Groups were always a copious source of findings in my AD security practice where I audited a range of AD implementations and taught regulators like the FDIC and the four large accounting firms how to assess Active Directory. In this session I’ll share what I learned and help you clean up your existing groups in implementing conventions and controls to keep groups secure going forward.

Jennifer Taufan, Netwrix Solutions Engineer, will show you how to:
Report on effective group membership in Active Directory and Entra ID
Understand where groups are granting access to your data sources such as file servers and SharePoint
Monitor and alert on group membership changes

Le workstation dei dipendenti, sia su Windows, macOS o Linux, sono diventate dei vettori di attacco e sono quindi presi di mira dagli aggressori. Questo perché sono il collegamento attraverso il quale i dati digitali vengono condivisi, copiati, caricati su servizi cloud di terze parti, stampati e/o spostati su supporti rimovibili. Indipendentemente da dove sono archiviati i dati, l'endpoint è la causa principale della maggior parte degli incidenti di furto di dati.

Come fare quindi a prevenire e rafforzare la propria postura di sicurezza? Parleremo di questo e molto altro ancora nel nostro prossimo webinar.  Guarda il nostro webinar e scopri:

- Perché DLP degli endpoint è fondamentale per proteggere i dati sensibili della tua azienda in un panorama in continua evoluzione

If privileged accounts are the most protected, why do they keep appearing in exploits, like the recent Snowflake/Ticketmaster incident?

The reasons are two-fold:
- Privileged accounts are prime targets.
- Many organizations don’t follow best practices.

In this session on “Assessing the Security of Your Active Directory,” цу]we’ll focus on privileged accounts to help you improve controls and reduce risks. We’ll cover:

Identifying privileged accounts beyond just the Administrators group, including indirect vectors like AD object permissions and Windows system rights.

Using Windows Security Logs to track privileged account logons. Limiting privileged account use to same-security-tier endpoints is crucial, as an admin account is only as safe as the endpoint it’s used on. For instance, some Snowflake contractors reportedly used personal computers with infostealer malware.

Implementing security tiers for accounts, servers, and endpoints to prevent privileged accounts from being exposed to less secure tiers.
Addressing specific risks and controls for privileged accounts in Active Directory.

Our sponsor, Netwrix, offers tools perfect for this topic. Netwrix Auditor can:
- Report on privileged accounts in Active Directory.
- Monitor logons and alert to suspicious activity.
- Generate audit trails and reports for privileged activities.
- Help prepare for audits and ensure compliance.

Jennifer Taufan, Solutions Engineer at Netwrix, will demonstrate these capabilities.

Assessing the Security of Your Active Directory: Privileged Account Risks and Controls

Today’s hybrid-work environments have resulted in organizations with “desktops” that are a convoluted mix of physical, Citrix, RDS, VDI, and more running on-premises, and in the cloud. And somehow IT is expected to find a singular means to ensure every one of them remains updated that keeps the desktop secure, the user productive, and the system secure.

Since Windows is still Windows no matter where you go, how is this possible?

Join us on Wednesday, March 15th at 1pm ET as 4-time Microsoft MVP and CEO of Conversational Geek, Nick Cavalancia talks with 18-time Microsoft MVP Jeremy Moskowitz on managing Windows in today’s heterogeneous environment. Topics will include:

· The challenge of managing Windows when it’s everywhere in every flavor
· What aspects of the desktop and OS should be part of the desktop standard?
· How to achieve a singular Windows desktop management strategy regardless of where they reside
