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.

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.

Application Security Monitoring: A surprisingly simple way to reduce your security audit and PCI gap-management costs

Who knew that logs could be so interesting?!? 

Many organizations struggle today with security auditing due to the feast-or-famine nature of system security logs. Either your applications produce NO logs, or they produce thousands of log entries that only describe technical details, without any indication of what the user actually did.

This presentation will show how to bypass this entire problem with Application Security Monitoring. ASM lets you answer the central ‘WHO did WHAT’ audit question without having to rebuild your entire app infrastructure. And it does this with a surprisingly simple approach: Monitor USERS instead of SYSTEMS. Video recordings of each on-screen action plus textual summary logs for every app (even those that have no internal logging!) will answer WHO did WHAT in the most direct manner.
