Identity and Access Management: Embracing the complexity

Admittedly, 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.

How Hackers Bypass Email Security: An Attack Guide for the Uninitiated

Migration to cloud email requires a strategic shift in security. Given that Office 365 inboxes and user credentials are top targets for hackers, it’s no surprise that 90% of breaches start with email. The resulting security incident orchestration and response workload drain resources from the SOC team.

Sr Solutions Engineer, Jeff Raymond will share insights from research and demonstrate the techniques attackers use to bypass Microsoft’s defenses, fool filters, and launch attacks. He will talk about how CISOs have started to adopt a continuous adaptive risk and trust assessment mindset to secure inboxes from threats like phishing, account takeover, and business email compromise.
