Wenn es darum geht, Benutzer zu identifizieren und authentisieren, ist die Kombination von Benutzernamen beziehungsweise E-Mail-Adresse und Passwort nach wie vor die verbreitetste Methode in Unternehmen. Damit kommt der Sicherheit der verwendeten Passwörter eine zentrale Funktion in der IT-Sicherheit des gesamten Unternehmens zu. Zum Schutz des Unternehmensnetzwerks und vertraulicher Daten, fordert das BSI daher, dass Passwörter in geeigneter Qualität (Je nach Einsatzzweck und Schutzbedarf) gewählt werden müssen.

In diesem Webinar wird Ihnen Stephan Halbmeier, Product Specialist bei Outpost24 zeigen, wie Sie mithilfe von Specops Password Policy, sowie weiteren Lösungen aus dem Portfolio von Specops Software, die Anforderungen des BSI IT-Grundschutz-Kompendiums an Passwörter im Segment ORP.4 umsetzen können.

Benutzernamen und Passwörter sind trotz ihrer Schwächen aus dem IT-Alltag nicht wegzudenken. Erfahren Sie im Webinar, wie Sie diese Authentifizierungsmethode wieder sicher und vertrauenswürdig gestalten.

In der digitalen Welt sind oftmals Passwörter der entscheidende Faktor, um zu bestimmen, ob jemand Zugriff auf das Unternehmensnetzwerk und sensible Daten erhält oder nicht. Doch leider sind diese Passwörter oftmals unzureichend stark oder bereits in den falschen Händen, weshalb Unternehmen vor der Herausforderung stehen, diese Authentifizierungsmethode so sicher wie möglich zu gestalten, wenn passwortlose Alternativen nicht in Frage kommen.

Laut dem Verizon 2024 Data Breach Report sind gestohlene oder kompromittierte Zugangsdaten weiterhin einer der häufigsten Angriffsvektoren von Cyber-Kriminellen.

Im Webinar-on-Demand zeigen wir Ihnen, wie einfach Unternehmen mithilfe von Third-Party-Tools Passwörter wieder zu einer starken und vertrauenswürdigen Authentifizierungsmethode machen können.

Dabei beleuchtet Stephan Halbmeier den Lebenszyklus eines Passwortes parallel zum Lebenszyklus eines Mitarbeiters in Ihrer Organisation. Von der sicheren Weitergabe des Passwortes am ersten Tag, über zusätzliche Authentifizierungsfaktoren, bis hin zu benutzerfreundlichen Kennwortrichtlinien und Accounthygiene beim Offboarding.

Sichere Authentifizierung gegen Active Directory - So einfach geht's!

Altlasten und Prozesslücken bieten Cyberkriminellen immer wieder Einfallstore. Wir zeigen, wie Unternehmen mithilfe von EASM ihre Angriffsfläche proaktiv überwachen können, bevor es zu spät ist.

Kennen Sie den tatsächlichen Umfang der Angriffsfläche Ihrer Organisation? Vertrauen Sie darauf, dass Prozessen und Workflows eingehalten und umgesetzt werden?

Verwaiste Assets, unzureichende Cyberhygiene, fehlende Zertifikate und mangelhaftes Consent Management für Cookies stellen jeweils eine ernste Gefahr für die Daten und Infrastruktur von Unternehmen dar.

Nur wer seine Angriffsfläche und alle darin exponierten Dienste vollständig im Blick hat, kann wirkungsvolle und rechtzeitige Maßnahmen gegen die zunehmend komplexen und raffinierten Cyberattacken umsetzen.

Im Webinar zeigen wir Ihnen eine Lösung, mit der Sie mögliche Gefahren in Ihrer Angriffsfläche aufdecken können, die klassische Vulnerability-Management-Tools nicht abdecken und wie Sie diese Lösung kostenlos für 14 Tage in Ihrer Organisation testen können.

Altlasten und Prozesslücken in der IT-Sicherheit - So einfach überwachen Sie Ihre Angriffslfäche!

In diesem Webinar erfahren Teilnehmer, wie Sie die Angreifbarkeit Ihrer Organisation mit den Augen eines Cyberkriminellen betrachten können und welchen Mehrwert dies im Vergleich zu gewöhnlichen Vulnerability-Scans bietet.

Erfahren Sie, welche Risiken, vernachlässigte, extern erreichbare Assets für IT-Sicherheit von Unternehmen darstellen. Cyberkriminelle nutzen solche Schwachstellen, um unbemerkt in Systeme einzudringen und Angriffe vorzubereiten. Stephan Halbmeier, Product Spezialist von Outpost24, zeigt, wie selbst kleinste Änderungen ein Einfallstor für Angreifer sein können. Er zieht die Blende auf und macht die ganze Dimension der Angriffsfläche aus der Perspektive eines Angreifers sichtbar und hinterfragt, ob bestehende Prozesse und Tools Sicherheitsverantwortliche in gebotenem Umfang bei der Überwachung unterstützen.

The Cost of Forgotten Passwords

This virtual workshop will provide crucial insights into the internet-facing assets of businesses that make them vulnerable to  threat actors. Because you can't protect what you're not aware of, we'll guide you through the most common, yet often forgotten high-risk assets in an external attack surface, as indicated by our benchmark findings. Many organizations struggle to track and maintain an up-to-date inventory of all their external assets, making them vulnerable to potential breaches through unknown backdoors. External attack surface management (EASM) is a way to discover and track these unknown assets that may be potential breach-points into your organization's network.  

During this talk, we'll present practical and effective reconnaissance techniques and show you how to proactively and efficiently control your external attack surface. 

Join us on Wednesday, May 16th at 3pm, CEST to:  
– Discover most common and often forgotten high-risk external IT assets  
– Learn about the risks associated with an unmonitored attack surface and our benchmark findings 
– Get better insights of the various methodologies and tools that keep your external attack surface under control 
– Best practice to stay up-to date when securing your external attack surface  

 
Following the  webinar, participants will be offered a customized analysis of their external attack surface, in reference to regional benchmark findings.
