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. |

SIEM: The Tangible and Intangible ROI

Finally, this session will address how to bridge the gap between these disparate mindsets by applying a SIEM solution through a framework of compliance, reporting and process management. |

Why Geeks Can't Do Risk Management and Why Management Can't Do Much Better
Stratfor, Sony, Zappos, RSA, Symantec, and Verisign collectively represent some of the more recent organizational failures where relatively low-threat adversaries were able to make off with the crown jewels of these organizations. This presentation will center on the fundamental reasons why we as an information security community continue to fail at protecting information assets that are critical to our business, and will provide specific corrective measures to be immediately adopted by both management and technologists within organizations of all sizes. |

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.
