Understanding the impact of AI on securing privileged identities has become a critical concern in today's rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape. As artificial intelligence continues to advance, it presents both opportunities and challenges for organizations striving to protect their most sensitive access points. The rise of AI-powered threats has significantly altered the traditional identity attack chain, requiring a fundamental shift in how we approach privileged identity security.

To combat these emerging threats, organizations must leverage cutting-edge technologies and adopt innovative strategies. By implementing AI-driven security solutions, companies can enhance their ability to detect and respond to sophisticated attacks targeting privileged identities. These advanced systems can analyze vast amounts of data in real-time, identifying anomalous behavior and potential security breaches before they escalate. Additionally, machine learning algorithms can continuously adapt and improve security measures, staying one step ahead of evolving AI-powered threats.

Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole, will provide expert insights into the changing landscape of privileged identity security in the age of AI. He will discuss the latest trends in AI-driven threats, their impact on the identity attack chain, and offer strategic recommendations for organizations to strengthen their security posture. Martin will also explore the potential of AI as a defensive tool and how it can be leveraged to enhance privileged access management.

Morey J. Haber, Chief Security Advisor at BeyondTrust will share practical experiences and best practices for safeguarding privileged identities against AI-powered threats. He will present three key tips that organizations can implement to protect themselves from emerging AI-driven attacks. Morey will also discuss real-world case studies demonstrating successful strategies for integrating AI into existing security frameworks to bolster privileged identity protection.

As cyberattacks increase in volume and sophistication it is not a matter of if, but when, your organization will have an incident. Threat actors target accounts, users, and identities via lateral movement and poor identity security hygiene. Detecting and defending against this MUST be the basis of a modern cybersecurity initiative.

Join identity and security experts from KuppingerCole Analysts and BeyondTrust as they share the risks associated with poor identity security disciplines, techniques that external threat actors and insiders leverage, and operational best practices to protect against identity theft, and to develop an effective identity security strategy.

Paul Fisher, Lead Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts, and Morey J. Haber, Chief Security Advisor at BeyondTrust will discuss the central role of identity security for zero trust models, and look at why cyber hygiene, specifically with respect to identity, is still not at the required level, like why there is no 100% adoption of MFA in enterprises. They will also discuss how identity-based attacks are used as the starting point of more elevated attacks.

• Hear examples of tactics used in real world identity attacks.
• Discover The Top Five Identity Risks in 2024.
• Learn about Operational best practices to protect Identities & Access from Cyberthreats.

Join identity and experts at KuppingerCole Analysts and BeyondTrust as they discuss the impact of the evolution of business IT, the trends shaping the identity landscape, the importance of identity security, and the role of privileged access management (PAM), cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM), and identity threat detection and response (ITDR).

Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole, will look at the convergence of PAM, CIEM, and ITDR, and their place within the Identity Fabric concept. He will analyze why new technologies are required to deal with ever-increasing cyberattacks and the reality of today’s hybrid and dynamic IT, and why a holistic approach is needed.

Marc Maiffret, Chief Technology Officer at BeyondTrust, will explain the value of an identity-first security strategy and the pivotal role of PAM, supported by CIEM and ITDR, in building a next-gen security capability. He will share insights on how to reap the rewards of digital transformation, while keeping the attack surface in check and minimizing risk.

How will  privileged access management change over the next years? How does this change impact your existing PAM infrastructures? What to consider for your buying decisions?

In this webinar, Morey Haber, Chief Security Officer at BeyondTrust, and Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts, discuss trends in the broader PAM space, covering aspects such as

• Will traditional PAM and CIEM/DREAM converge? And who needs what when?
• Just-in-time privileges and ephemeral certificates – is this the future of PAM?
•  Passwordless authentication, access management, single sign-on, and PAM: Where is the intersection and how to resolve conflicts?
• Software development and application security: When is someone a privileged user?
• 3rd party risk management: The driver for PAM adoption within the supply chain?

They share concepts and insights and talk about their perspectives on where PAM is evolving and what organizations should keep in mind for their own PAM strategies and implementations.

At some point, any business connected to the internet is likely to become a victim of a ransomware because they are relatively easy and inexpensive to carry out, but potentially yield large payouts for cybercriminals. The best way of tackling this threat is to know how to break the attack chain. Join security experts from KuppingerCole Analysts and BeyondTrust to find out why digital transformation has massively increased the attack surface, what you need to know about ransomware, why it appears to be winning, and how to create effective defenses against it. 

John Tolbert, Lead Analyst at KuppingerCole is joined by Brian Chappell, Chief Security Strategist at BeyondTrust to discuss what security practices can realistically be implemented to defend against ransomware, which has become one of the most common cyber threats facing most organizations, particularly those in the energy, shipping, wholesale, retail, healthcare and financial industry sectors. These experts and security industry veterans will also discuss the role that Privileged Access Management (PAM) can play in mitigating the risks of ransomware and other cyber threats by reducing the opportunities for attackers to access and navigate targeted IT environments.

 Viele Unternehmen nutzen heute mehrere Cloud-Dienste, wobei ihre Enduser regelmäßig Dutzende oder sogar Hunderte verschiedener SaaS-Anwendungen verwenden. Diese große Cloud-Migration hat erfolgreich eine Ausweitung des mobilen Arbeitens ermöglicht und beschleunigt Initiativen zur digitalen Transformation. Eine steigende Anzahl an Cloud-Diensten bedeutet allerdings ebenso einen Anstieg an IT-Sicherheitsherausforderungen. Neben den grundlegenden Cloud-Sicherheitsaspekten entsteht eine zusätzliche Komplexität sowie Interoperabilitätsprobleme, die sich aus siloartigen Identity Stores, nativen Toolsets und einem Konflikt aufgrund der geteilten Verantwortlichkeiten der Cloud-Anbieter ergeben. All das schafft eine erweiterte Angriffsfläche und muss von Unternehmen adressiert werden.

Die Identity Challenge ist die wichtigste Sicherheitsherausforderung die es für Unternehmen zu lösen gilt und wird primär durch die Standardisierung des Managements und der Sicherheitskontrollen im gesamten IT-Ökosystem bewältigt. Nehmen Sie an dieser Sitzung teil und erfahren Sie mehr über: 

• Die wichtigsten Cloud-Sicherheitsrisiken 
• Wo native Toolsets Lücken in der Sicherheit hinterlassen, die Sie adressieren müssen 
• Wie Sie mit Privileged Access Management (PAM) Best Practices für Cloud-Sicherheit implementieren, um die Wahrscheinlichkeit und das Ausmaß von Sicherheitsverletzungen in der Cloud deutlich zu verringern

As users, devices and application workloads move outside the corporate network, the traditional model of enforcing security at the network perimeter is no longer effective. A Zero Trust model offers an alternative that secures data while ensuring it is accessible to employees, regardless of where they are working. But the path to achieving Zero Trust is unclear for many organizations.

Viele Organisationen stehen vor der Herausforderung Richtlinien für das Arbeiten aus dem Home-Office zu implementieren, um unter anderem eine stetig steigende Anzahl an Remote- und Hybrid-Mitarbeitern zu unterstützen. Während ein hybrides Arbeitsmodell eine interessante und aufregende Entwicklung darstellt, waren viele Organisationen nicht auf diese rasche, anfängliche Verlagerung der Arbeitsstruktur in Hybrid- oder Remote-Modelle vorbereitet. Die Nutzung einer Privileged Access Management-Lösung kann federführend dabei unterstützen, Sicherheitsauswirkungen dieser wachsenden Remote- und Hybrid-Belegschaft zu minimieren. Der Vortrag zeigt auf, wie diese neuen Arbeitsmodelle sicher supported sowie weiter ausgebaut werden können und legt dar, welche Rolle ein ganzheitlicher Privileged Access Management-Ansatz hierbei spielt.

Ferner behandelt der Vortrag:

• CISO-Überlegungen bezüglich einer sich wandelnden Arbeitsbelegschaft sowie Sicherheitsauswirkungen einer schnellen Transformation
• „New Normal“: Implementierung & Skalierung starker Sicherheitsprotokolle, um eine hybride Belegschaft zu ermöglichen
• Wichtigkeit eines ganzheitlichen PAM-Ansatzes zur Absicherung jeglicher Privilegien, immer und überall

Striking the balance between enabling users and administrators to be productive whilst protecting your sensitive systems and data is becoming ever more challenging. Attackers are often one step ahead of organizations, and even those with the most comprehensive security systems and controls in place find that an attacker will discover and exploit their Achilles’ heel.

Many organisations are implementing remote working policies and need to quickly support an unprecedented increase in the number of remote employees. However, an expanding remote workforce can significantly increase the attack surface and have changed the threat model of the organisation overnight. Many remote access options are quick to implement but are not secure and organisations are trying to navigate the challenges of quickly, but securely, operationalising their remote employees.

In their talk, Martin Kuppinger and Morey Haber explore the risks unsecure remote access presents and discuss how the secure remote access and endpoint privilege management pillars of a PAM solution can securely and efficiently connect remote employees to corporate resources.
