To defend against today’s threats, it’s become crucial for security professionals to have the skills of both a business partner and enabler, and have the technical expertise to prevent, detect and respond to security challenges. This week, Bomgar will exhibit and present multiple sessions at the “business of security” conference, also known as InfoSec World Conference and Expo 2018, in Lake Buena Vista, FL.
Throughout the presentations, Bomgar experts will outline why it’s critical for organizations to secure privileged accounts and access to protect themselves against cyberthreats. The presenters will also demonstrate how organizations can use automation to improve security while speeding business productivity.
Lunch Keynote: Making Life Easier for It: Automating Credential Management on Connected & Disconnected Systems
- Imagine never having to change an administrator password or service account by hand ever again. With systems on-premises, disconnected, and cloud based, the lack of a central way to manage them can make the task impossible. This keynote will demonstrate how the largest organizations manage privileged identities at huge scale without human intervention.
- Who: Richard Weeks, VP of Channel Sales and Business Alliances
- When: Monday, March 19, 12:00 p.m – 1:00 p.m.
Automated Cyber Defense: Leveraging Identity Management to Get to Acceptable Loss
- Identity management today is a mess that takes massive losses regularly. IAM is highly manual and uses long-lived passwords and privileges, everything-connected networks, and insecure single domains or complete trusted cross domains. This session covers how to redesign and automate your identity management (especially privileged identities and access), networks, and secure disconnected and connected systems based on real-world experience.
- Who: Sam Elliott, Director of Security Product Management
- When: Tuesday, March 20, 10:40 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Power Breakfast Session: The Four Pitfalls of Privilege: How to Defend Critical Accounts and Systems
- As data breaches continue to rise, more and more organizations are realizing they need to do more to protect access to privileged accounts and systems, to mitigate the risk of cyberattacks and meet industry security standards. Cybercriminals are succeeding in fraud techniques such as ransomware and cryptocurrency mining because of lax controls around privileged access. Traditional approaches to privileged access and credential management often leave organizations exposed because their focus is too narrow. This session will outline the “Four Pitfalls of Privilege” to highlight some of the most common challenges that organizations face, and how they can address and overcome them.
- Who: Sam Elliott, Director of Security Product Management
- When: Wednesday, March 21, 7:30 a.m.– 8:15 a.m.
