Summary

Ransomware-as-a-service has lowered the barrier to entry for cybercriminals to deploy sophisticated attacks and collect cryptocurrency through extortion. The key to success for attacks is the compromise of privileged user accounts that unlock valuable, sensitive data that can be held for ransom. Yet, best practice privilege access management (PAM) is still elusive for companies and government entities of all sizes and levels of security maturity. Expired accounts, unnecessarily elevated privileges, and insider abuse are too common. Just being a little bit bad at PAM can expose you to an increased risk of ransomware attack success.
This webinar will focus on easy-to-implement PAM controls that can help you neutralize attacks by:

• Enforcing the principle of just-in-time, just-enough privilege across systems, devices and services
• Continuously auditing and discovering privilege accounts, removing unnecessary admin rights
• Monitoring for policy violations and suspicious behavior
• Moving passwords to the background to reduce user fatigue and improve security
• Integrating PAM into a broader zero trust posture
