About the Session

Traditional, siloed security approaches often lack the comprehensive visibility needed to detect hidden pathways to privileged accounts - the most common attack vector today. In today's complex IT landscape, attackers are adept at exploiting seemingly innocuous accounts and misconfigurations to gain privileged access. This webinar delves into why a fragmented view of identity and access leaves organizations vulnerable. We discuss how modern security organizations are tackling this challenge with a unified approach to identity security that cascading risks when visibility is limited.

Key Takeaways:

Understand the limitations of traditional, non-holistic security approaches in identifying modern attack vectors - and how to act upon them

Learn how attackers exploit hidden pathways and seemingly low-risk accounts to achieve significant privilege escalation.

Recognize the interconnectedness of identity systems and the far-reaching consequences of security gaps in one area.
