Onboarding Personal Devices to Corporate Networks

Many IT organizations are being asked to allow personal devices onto corporate networks.  Unlike corporate-issued devices that are well-managed and under IT’s control, this new Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) initiative introduces a unique set of security challenges that require a balance of flexibility, visibility, security.

This presentation will explain the concept of a “BYOD Blueprint” and lessons learned from onboarding personal devices to over 800 networks around the world.

Manage, Control, and Audit the Use of Shared, Privileged, and Administrative Accounts

• Do you know how many privileged, shared, or generic identities exist within your IT infrastructure?
• Do you know who has access to these accounts and what they’re doing during administrative sessions?
• Are auditors requesting reports on entitlement to and usage of these identities?

The average enterprise includes thousands of privileged identities, accounts, and passwords.  Manually managing and updating these is a time-consuming, costly and repetitive process.  Administrative and application accounts (hard-coded, embedded credentials) can be found in network devices, servers, and software within an organization, including virtual environments, yet access to these accounts is unmonitored.  Sharing of access to these accounts occurs frequently, so the system does not track WHO logged in, merely that a login occurred—a significant audit challenge.

Learn how to mitigate the risk of mismanagement of shared, privileged, and administrative accounts and how to address associated audit and compliance findings.

The Anatomy of an Attack

Advanced threats that once affected only defense and the military are now targeting mainstream corporations as attackers pursue high-value digital assets such as intellectual property and other proprietary data and systems. In this presentation, RSA’s Ben Smith will provide a look back at the RSA breach, explain why organizations continue to face these advanced threats, and talk about what we can do to provide better visibility into these attacks going forward. He will explain how organizations need to develop new strategies that involve harnessing the power of information to prioritize threats, and proactively remediate and track incidents to reduce business impact. This topic is designed to facilitate candid conversations about how we should re-imagine our models of defense, information exchange, and industry alliance.
