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. |

ELIMINATING DATA SECURITY THREAT
Unstructured and semi-structured data presents unique challenges to IT organizations when it comes to identifying who has access, who is accessing and most importantly, who should have access to shared Windows, NAS and UNIX folders, SharePoint sites and Exchange mailboxes and public folders. Information Security organizations have traditionally struggled with the overwhelming manual process of enforcing authentication, authorization and accountability controls on these resources as well as identifying data owners who should be making these decisions. Varonis Systems, a global leader in data governance presents new solutions for helping meet these challenges both today and into the future.

Onboarding Personal Devices to Corporate Networks
Many IT organizations are being asked to allow personal devices onto corporate networks.

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. |
