Key Steps of Must-Have PAM Capabilities to Secure Identities and Access

Identity is the new perimeter— and privileged access management (PAM) is the keystone of modern identity and access security. The reality of today’s threat landscape is that: The attack surface continues to expand and evolve – As the traditional perimeter has dissolved, the privileged threat surface has vastly expanded and grown more complex. Privileges continue to proliferate and become exposed in new ways - Almost every attack today requires privilege for the initial exploit or to laterally move within a network—and privileges are everywhere. Identities are increasing in number and complexity and coming under attack from more angles than ever before. Attackers are rapidly advancing in agility beyond just simple automation - While many breaches can still be prevented by simple security fundamentals, machine Learning (M/L) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are changing the game, vastly enhancing attacker toolsets and empowering human-operated attacks. Join Beyond Trust to understand where to begin your PAM project, how to progress to a better security posture, and what business outcomes to expect. Raef will also explain the PAM basics that will mitigate most risks, highlighting the most important features and capabilities of a complete PAM solution to help you strengthen your Identity Security and account for every plane of […]

ACENET: Basics of Computers

Online

Most of us have experience using a computer, whether for school, work, or entertainment, but how many of us have actually had an expert teach us how to use it? This talk won't teach you how to troubleshoot everything, but will give you insight to how media, programs and data are encoded and used by computers, so you can make more sense of why computers behave the ways they do, and solve some of your problems with greater efficiency and less frustration. We will provide an approachable overview of how a computer works, by both looking at their history and breaking one down to explain individual components, before highlighting some of the trade-offs to consider when buying a computer. We will provide practical, simple, and actionable advice on digital security and show you a few "pro tips" on how to make the most of your workstation, phone, or whatever device you happen to use. Whether you have a lot or a little experience using your digital technology, if you want to learn how to use your devices more effectively, this workshop is for you! This session will be delivered online. Participants must register using their institutional / organizational email address (not […]
