Shifting PAM Into High Gear With Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) 1:20 pm
Presented by Remediant
Click to ExpandZero Standing Privilege (PAM) was a new term introduced in 2019 and might just be the best approach to shift your PAM strategy into high gear. In this short presentation, we’ll discuss how PAM projects were managed historically and highlight a new PAM approach to reduce the impact of compromised admin credentials.
Do you know what admin credentials exist today or even how they change over time in your organization? This is just one of several challenges we’ll discuss, offer a solution and discuss the need and value of frequent scanning of admin rights, reporting on current standing privileges and the adoption of a ZSP and Just-In-Time administration.
So, if you’re looking for quick wins in PAM, including removing local admin rights and support for DevOps+PAM use cases, join the discussion and learn how other organizations like yours have succeeded.

Ransomware Recovery With Speed and Precision 1:40 pm
Presented by CrowdStrike
Click to ExpandRansomware attacks cause major business disruptions resulting in significant time expenditures, technical resources, and related costs in order to return to full business operations. The traditional recovery approach using backups and reimaging or simply paying the ransom fails to address the root cause of the attack and remove persistent threats. This failure leaves organizations open to secondary attacks, negating initial efforts. Our experts from the front lines of incident response and endpoint recovery are helping organizations effectively recover from attacks with speed and precision to surgically remove ransomware. Join us for this informative session to learn just how we do it.

Building Cyber Resilience: Finding Factors Not Fault 2:15 pm
Presented by eSentire
Click to ExpandGiven an outcome, we often exaggerate our ability to predict and therefore avoid the same fate. In cybersecurity, this misconception can lead to a false sense of corporate security, or worse, bury the true causes of incidents and lead to repeated data breaches or business disrupting cyber incidents. In this session, we will explore real-world incidents and threats to assemble an actionable cyber resilience framework that adapts to distributed assets, remote workers, and virtual workloads.

Click to ExpandAdmittedly, IAM can be intimidating. Ensuring company assets are being accessed only by those who are authorized is a crucial, non-trivial task but we should embrace the challenge. In this session we will discuss the complexities of IAM by reviewing what digital identity really is, and what challenges exist when implementing access management controls. We will discuss a typical IAM use-case and how we can embrace its complexities while avoiding the need for large architectural changes.

Credential Harvesting As a Service: How this Darkweb Organization Steals Your Microsoft Credentials 3:30 pm
Presented by Avanan
Click to ExpandIn this presentation, we will analyze the attack methods of a single advanced persistent threat organization that guarantees its dark-web customers that their messages will bypass Microsoft security. We will review the software they use to send email from anywhere in the world, their techniques that take advantage of both short- and long-lived vulnerabilities and the infrastructure to harvest credentials and perform attacks almost instantaneously.
You will be surprised by the sophistication of the tools as well as their ease of use. Updated regularly with release notes and training videos, they are not ‘hackers’, so much as software developers with a very clear product offer: 100% access to your inbox. We will watch them over time and show how the tricks they use provide us with the indicators-of-attack we need to stop them.
