When following best practices for secure access in the cloud, things often seem to start off so simple. Least privilege makes sense. Enforcing credential rotation, strong passwords and the such all seem easy. 

But then you’re faced with fact that the vast majority of breaches today are access/identity-based, and that recent research shows that 85% of access grants were never used in a 90-day period. All of a sudden things aren’t so simple.

Why exactly is there so much drift between access management best practices and the reality of access in the cloud? And how do you improve on your current privilege implementations?

In this webinar, you’ll learn:
• Access management best practices for AWS 
• Typical areas where organizations falter in those implementations
• How to audit access in the cloud to measure success of least privilege efforts
• Even better best practices for defense in depth for your cloud environments
• How to implement Just-in-Time and Dynamic Access

5 Ways Access Management Goes Awry in AWS

Proper permissioning is foundational to secure implementation and administration of SaaS applications. Customer demand and vendors build fine-grained and highly flexible permissioning models but inadvertently make understanding who exactly has access to what extraordinarily difficult. Compounding this challenge is each app’s unique approach to permissioning, and even apps that appear to have similar models often differ in nuanced but meaningful ways. Multiply this situation by hundreds of apps in an enterprise portfolio and you understand why applying and maintaining effective permissions is nearly impossible for today's app owners and security team. Join AO Labs and it’s SaaS security experts to understand the realities of modern SaaS permissioning, its challenges, possible attack vectors, and ways you can protect your organization.

$4.35MM: average cost of a data breach in 2022

It’s smart to know the coverage amounts of cybersecurity insurance policies for your organization, suppliers, and partners. It’s arguably more important to focus your infosec team’s attention on those policies' limitations - or stipulations - to better protect your organization. Did you know cybersecurity insurance policies do not cover losses incurred from a breach because of poor security practices or unreported failures? Insurance is not a substitute for poor practices.

In this session, we’ll review how to better manage cybersecurity insurance data, including measuring your levels of risk from non-compliant controls or potential third-party exposure.

Learning Objectives: 
• How to identify missing coverage in your cybersecurity insurance policies
• Processes for reporting compliance practices to avoid non-coverage issues
• Tracking and analyzing risk from third-party cybersecurity insurance gaps

Cybersecurity Insurance: How are you preparing for what’s not covered?

Managing access in the cloud can be a daunting challenge. From having to support multi-cloud environments, to managing multiple cloud provider-specific secret vaults, the cloud has unique challenges that must be overcome if teams are to ensure secure, auditable access.

Join this session to learn:
• The unique access management challenges posed by cloud environments
• How to approach secure and auditable access in the cloud
• Tangible steps you can take to simplify access management across your cloud environment

Simplifying Access Management in Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Environments

In today's world, data breaches and insider threats are becoming increasingly common, and controlling access to sensitive information is crucial for organizations. The majority of these misconfigurations are associated with Identity and Access Management (IAM) as identity and credentials are the crown jewel for adversaries to gain access to critical infrastructure.

Cloud Identity and Entitlement Management (CIEM) is a new approach to IAM that addresses these limitations and provides greater visibility and control over permissions. 

In this webinar, we will 
• Explore why companies struggle with managing Identity and access in the cloud
• Why least privilege is so important
• How attackers move laterally by abusing permissions
• Enforcing least privilege access with CIEM

Stopping Privilege Escalation In The Cloud With Least Privilege

As multicloud environments expand, there are more identities and permissions organizations need to effectively manage. In fact, our recent State of Cloud Permissions Risks Report finds that there are over 40,000 permissions across major clouds but human and workload identities across multicloud are using only 1% of their permissions granted; this delta is called the Permissions Gap. The bigger the gap, the more significant risk for accidental or malicious permission misuse. To add to this problem, we've found that the number of workload identities accessing cloud resources has doubled since 2021, now outnumbering human identities 10:1. Eliminating the Permissions Gap, monitoring risky identities, and applying adaptive access for both human and workload identities is crucial for securing multicloud environments from a potential breach. Join this webinar to explore permission risks and to dive into effective strategies for right-sizing and managing human and workload identities at cloud scale.

Securing Human and Workload Identities across Multicloud Infrastructure

This session summarizes key insights across customers, Wiz and third-party threat research, and numerous other sources.

Top Cloud Threats in 2023 and Pragmatic Steps to Mitigate Them

Data is one of the fastest growing things on the planet and a huge driver of growth for companies. Due to the high value of data, it is the most frequent target in security attacks. With increasing data security and privacy risks, companies are looking at Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), an emerging technique, to protect sensitive data. With DSPM, organizations can gain real-time insights into sensitive data they hold, reduce data system vulnerabilities, and prevent unauthorized access.

A DSPM implementation also presents a unique opportunity for organizations to leverage a common layer of sensitive data intelligence to unify data security, privacy, compliance, and governance controls. With a unified data controls approach, organizations can drive business results while optimizing for costs and risks. Join our panel of security experts as they discuss a wide range of DSPM topics including what it means, mistakes to avoid when choosing a DSPM solution, and the right implementation approach.

In this session, you will learn how to:
-      Build a layer of sensitive data intelligence across multiple clouds and SaaS apps
-      Eliminate security blindspots across Dark and Streaming data
-      Prioritize & remediate misconfigurations based on sensitive data context
-      Monitor data usage and prevent unauthorized access
-      Compare DSPM solutions on criteria such as accuracy, scalability, coverage, and cost
-      Improve collaboration with a unified data security, privacy, and governance approach

DSPM Done Right! Maximize Cloud Data Security While Unifying All Data Controls

Organizations are being asked to support increasingly distributed workforces and fluid return-to-work plans. At the same time, they must protect themselves against the rising number of identity-based cyber attacks - which are the leading cause of compromise today. Traditional approaches to identity are often fragmented, complex, and lack agility - making it difficult to stay ahead of today’s threats. Organizations with gaps in their identity security are significantly more at risk.

A Zero trust security strategy provides a framework for organizations to help solve these challenges. The core principle that prompts adoption of this mindset is that the perimeter has shifted, trust needs to be established at the point of connection, people are effectively the new perimeter. This means that organizations who are on a Zero Trust journey need a strong identity solution to serve as their starting point. Learn how a comprehensive, identity-first security strategy can tie the complexities of protecting people and assets together in a seamless experience.

Approaching Security with an Identity-First Mindset

In this session, we will demonstrate how the cross reference can help security practitioners leverage the two resources to deploy effective controls over their multi-cloud environments.

Concerns with Cloud Data Security: The Perceived State of Opinions on Challenges and Issues Regarding Data in the Cloud

89% of organizations host sensitive data or workloads in the cloud. Are you one of them? 

CSA conducted the "Sensitive Data in the Cloud" survey in 2022 in hopes to address the top concerns and thoughts on the current state of data security regarding the enterprise space and cloud service providers. In this talk we will be sharing those results from the survey, and the impact it has had when talking about security and risk, as well as meeting regulatory and compliance needs in the enterprise space.

Concerns with Cloud Data Security

As businesses are developing rapidly, many cloud consumers find that a single public/private cloud or traditional on-premises data center is no longer able to meet service requirements. Organizations are increasingly choosing hybrid cloud environments and services to meet their needs. However, hybrid clouds pose different risks and thus bring on a different set of challenges to security.This presentation will provide the overview of Hybrid Cloud, demonstrate its risks, threats and vulnerabilities, and give examples of Hybrid Cloud use cases.
