SUMMARY:A Post Breach Analysis: Okta Support Unit
DESCRIPTION:About the session\n\nWith increasing numbers of high-profile identity security attacks hitting the headlines\, it is crucial to consider how to safeguard your organization. In today’s attacks\, identities\, especially those with significant privileges\, play a central role as attackers focus on exploiting identities and using social engineering instead of relying on exploits and malware. \nJoin BeyondTrust’s Chief Technology Officer\, Marc Maiffret and Director of Research\, James Maude as they break down some of the common Tactics\, Techniques\, and Procedures (TTPs) that have been observed in recent Identity and Identity Infrastructure attacks including those that led to the discovery by BeyondTrust that Okta’s Support Unit had been breached. \nIn this session learn about: \n\nThe growing importance of identity security in today’s landscape\nResearch findings on Mercury and Scattered Spider\nHow BeyondTrust’s proactive approach helped uncover the Okta Support Breach\nOkta post breach analysis – privileges and personal accounts\nBest practices for securing identity infrastructure\, including FIDO2 and access policies\n\nSuccessfully navigating the challenges of identity security not only calls for tools that can provide visibility\, control over identities and privileges\, risk reduction\, and threat detection\, but also requires a shift within the organization to connect the realms of identity\, access\, and security. While Super Admins in Okta may be making headlines now\, they are just one piece of a larger ecosystem that we must safeguard. \nDon’t miss out on this opportunity to enhance your understanding of identity security and learn valuable strategies to protect your organization. \nMeet the Speakers\nMarc Maiffret \nChief Technology Officer \n\nMarc Maiffret is a well-known entrepreneur and executive with over 20 years of experience in security leadership at organizations such as eEye Digital Security\, FireEye\, SpaceX\, and BeyondTrust.
