Synopsis and overview of the session
Business needs are constantly changing — creating new security vulnerabilities. Too often, criminals are exploiting gaps created by change, and gaining unauthorised access to sensitive data, systems and networks. Hacking is unnecessary when criminals can simply log into critical systems using stolen credentials — taking advantage of weak access controls.
Much greater emphasis must be placed on who gets access to what, when and how. The concept of least privilege needs to be enforced aggressively, to mitigate risk and combat emerging vulnerabilities. Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a key component of an effective security posture. In today’s generative AI world, implementing PAM controls in a way that supports business agility and needs, is now a core activity for modern CISOs.
Drawing on Focus Network and Delinea’s latest global research in 2023, where over 2000 CISOs were interviewed, we invite you to join this exclusive group of IT Security leaders at an upcoming lunch briefing, where we will delve deeper into some of the latest findings along with providing further insights into:
1. The impact of business alignment on cybersecurity effectiveness
2. Assessing the value of preventative controls in reducing cyber breaches
3. Implications of identity protection in a Generative AI world.
