APJ | Tech Talk Tuesday – The Essential 8 and Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM)

The Essential Eight – The Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents – has been developed to help organisations protect themselves against a wide range of cyber attacks and threats.

As more organisations look to adopt the Essential Eight, many struggle with fully adopting strategies such as Application Control, User Application Hardening and Restricting Admin Privileges.

Join Jon Barham, Senior Solutions Engineer, for this 30-minute technical product session, where you will see how BeyondTrust’s Endpoint Privilege Management solutions can help you overcome some of the Essential Eight challenges your organisation faces. You will see how BeyondTrust can help to:

• Restrict Admin Privileges by assigning just-in-time (JIT) privileges only to approved applications, scripts, tasks, and commands – not the user.
• Implement Application Control by managing what is allowed to run based on what is approved for the users duties and specific environmental/process information, while leveraging existing approval workflows.
• Perform Application Hardening by protecting the integrity of running processes and guarding against Malware with Trusted Application Control (or Contextual Application Control)

During this session we’ll touch on how you can use Application Control and Application Hardening as compensating controls for Configuring Office Macros and Patching Applications, along with implementing Multi-Factor Authentication on critical business applications or server administration tasks.

You will also see first-hand how BeyondTrust’s out-of-the-box Quick Start policy framework speeds time to value and reduces ongoing support burdens.

If you are working on an Essential Eight initiative this is a session you won’t want to miss.
