What: |
Panel: Sustainability in the New IT Ecosystem: Critical Success Factors for Today & Key Preparations for Tomorrow Roundtable: The Impact of Automating Privileged Controls to Address NIST 800-53 Rev 4 and Meet the Increasing Advanced Threat Landscape In the CyberArk session, attendees will participate in a dialogue on the existence, prevalence and risk of unmanaged privileged accounts in a traditional IT organization. The conversation will focus on how best to define, implement and track controls in order to stop inadvertent or malicious misuse of these powerful accounts and pathways. The risk posed by unmanaged, powerful privileged accounts, from both a compliance and a pure security perspective, is magnified by the anonymity of the privileged user or application and the opacity of the corresponding actions. Privileged controls, when properly designed and made operational, directly reduce the overall security risk an organization faces from advanced attacks while ensuring continuous usage of the recommended controls surrounding privileged accounts that are detailed extensively in Rev 4 of the NIST Special Publication 800-53. |
