The digital age has brought about unparalleled convenience, connectivity, and opportunities. Yet, it also presents complex challenges in the realm of identity management and cybersecurity. Traditional perimeter-based security models are increasingly obsolete in today's hybrid digital environments. The rise of cloud services, IoT devices, and mobile workforces necessitates a fresh approach to identity protection and management. The evolving landscape has seen a shift towards identity-centric security frameworks, where understanding "who" is accessing "what" becomes central. With data breaches becoming more sophisticated and targeted, the importance of ensuring the right people have the right access to the right resources has never been more pronounced. In this session, we will delve deep into the intricate world of identity protection and management: The Evolution of Identity in Business: Understand how digital identities have evolved from simple username-password combinations to multi-faceted profiles involving biometrics, behavioral patterns, and more. Trends and Threats: A deep dive into the latest trends in identity management, from self-sovereign identities to decentralized systems, and the associated threats like identity theft, impersonation, and man-in-the-middle attacks. Moving Beyond Perimeters: Explore how businesses are shifting from perimeter-based defenses to identity-centric security models, emphasizing continuous authentication and authorization. Strategies for Robust Identity Security and […]

About the session With 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. Join 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. In this session learn about: The growing importance of identity security in today's landscape Research findings on Mercury and Scattered Spider How BeyondTrust's proactive approach helped uncover the Okta Support Breach Okta post breach analysis – privileges and personal accounts Best practices for securing identity infrastructure, including FIDO2 and access policies Successfully 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 […]
