Data Access Governance in the Digital Age

The cybersecurity insurance landscape is shifting as cyber attacks, like ransomware and malware, are becoming more sophisticated. We’re confronted with the uncomfortable reality where conventional approaches, such as meeting minimum compliance requirements and sticking to traditional privilege access management strategies, don’t do enough to protect an organization’s data. What’s worse is that only meeting the minimum can create gaps in cyber insurance and drive up premium costs.

Cyber insurance companies can have very specific requirements around an organization's current security practices, such as their EDR. To keep premiums down and to stay ahead of nefarious actors, one approach to consider is to adopt quick-to-deploy strategies, such as a more advanced concept of privilege access management called PAM+. It’s an approach that eliminates the impact of compromised admin credentials through Just-in-Time access, renders password-stealing malware ineffective, and delivers rapid time-to-value.

Watch this recording to deep dive into:

- A brief primer on the current cyber insurance landscape.
- How legacy PAM toolsets and approaches meet compliance requirements may not protect against the realized actual risk that cyber insurance providers care about.
- Recent case studies illustrate how PAM+ can help protect your organization from attacks involving lateral movement.

How PAM+ helps maximize your cyber Insurance coverage

Whether you use your Windows as your server OS for your AD, DC, SQL or file server or as the go-to operating system for your end-users; each application requires a properly hardened state and continuous control of changes to the setup.

Any unexpected change to a system file can indicate a security breach, a malware infection or other malicious activity that puts your business at risk. File integrity monitoring (FIM) is so critical for data security that most common compliance regulations and security frameworks, including PCI DSS, HIPAA, FISMA and NIST, recommend implementing it whenever possible.

Even more, FIM should always be paired with system hardening, the establishment of a stable base of known good configurations.

So join our new webinar to discover how to:
- Use hardening benchmarks to start with a best-practice approach for you IT estate
- Tune the achieved to a baseline that fits your needs and risks
- Monitor critical file activity that might indicate an ongoing attack
- Ensure configuration stability while avoiding drift and event noise
- Maintain and audit compliance while validating ITSM roll-outs

FIM and System Hardening: Detect and Prevent Cyberthreats in Windows

[Cyber Quest] Choose Your Own Security Adventure

The last two decades have seen massive change in the IT landscape: We’ve seen workloads shift from the datacenter to the cloud, applications move from the desktop to mobile devices, and an increase in the frequency and sophistication of attacks to the point where it's not if you’ll get breached but when. Yet, the process we use for locking down access to our most sensitive systems — privileged access management (PAM) — has not fundamentally changed.
Is there a better way to approach PAM? 

Join this session to learn how you can:
- Leverage just in time orchestration to remove attack surfaces
- Dynamically delegate just-enough access according to use case.
- Enable administrators to do their jobs without jumping through hoops.
- Limit the spread of malware.

PAM: We’ve Been Doing It All Wrong

PAM solutions have got a bad rap over the years. Traditionally they have been cumbersome to setup, difficult to configure and impossible to use. As a result, many organizations looking to implement PAM do so with a sense of trepidation and uncertainty.
 
In this webinar, we will show you that not all PAM solutions are created equal and how you can:
- Implement PAM quickly with minimal risk
- Improve your security posture  
- Delight your administrators with easy to use workflows
- Learn about the benefits of Zero Standing Privilege

Relief for sufferers of PAM PTSD

Today’s hybrid-work environments have resulted in organizations with “desktops” that are a convoluted mix of physical, Citrix, RDS, VDI, and more running on-premises, and in the cloud. And somehow IT is expected to find a singular means to ensure every one of them remains updated that keeps the desktop secure, the user productive, and the system secure.

Since Windows is still Windows no matter where you go, how is this possible?

Join us on Wednesday, March 15th at 1pm ET as 4-time Microsoft MVP and CEO of Conversational Geek, Nick Cavalancia talks with 18-time Microsoft MVP Jeremy Moskowitz on managing Windows in today’s heterogeneous environment. Topics will include:

· The challenge of managing Windows when it’s everywhere in every flavor
· What aspects of the desktop and OS should be part of the desktop standard?
· How to achieve a singular Windows desktop management strategy regardless of where they reside

Optimizing Windows Desktop for Security and Simplicity

Parce que le système informatique de l`entreprise ne peut pas être réputé inviolable, il est nécessaire de se donner les moyens de réagir avant qu’une compromission n’atteigne les données et systèmes critiques.
 
Les analyses du secteur révèlent que les attaquants se cachent souvent dans les systèmes et réseaux d’entreprise pendant près d’un an avant d’être découverts, et plus il faut de temps pour repérer une menace, plus la violation des données qui en résulte peut être coûteuse.

Regardez notre webinaire et découvrez comment :

- Identifier dynamiquement les tentatives d’accès
- Protéger vos comptes à privilèges

Is your legacy tool for endpoint privilege management EOL'ing soon? Are you looking for a cost-effective replacement that provides feature parity and maintains the security and compliance you've already implemented? Perhaps you're new to endpoint privilege management and seeking out a solution to your "local admin problem" once and for all. If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you won't want to miss this webinar and product demonstration!
 
Privileged accounts with local or domain admin rights pose substantial security and compliance risk to your organisation's underlying information systems. These accounts in the hands of malicious actors can cause significant operational damage, including data theft, espionage, sabotage, ransom, or bypassing critical safety controls. Implementing the principle of least privilege across endpoints can mitigate these risks while optimizing operational efficiency.
 
Attend this webinar to see how Netwrix SbPAM and Netwrix PolicyPak Least Privilege Manager enable admins and standard users to complete privileged tasks securely. You'll also see how easy, fast, and cost-effective it is to transition away from legacy tools for endpoint privilege management that may soon reach its end of life!
 
During the webinar, you will learn how Netwrix SbPAM and Netwrix PolicyPak can help you:
·   Enforce least privilege functionality across Windows and Mac endpoints.
·   Prevent malware, ransomware, lateral movement, and unauthorised system changes.
·   Simplify how domain admins complete privileged tasks, which improves response times and mean time to resolution (MTTR).
·   Optimize performance and productivity without sacrificing security or compliance.
·   Replace legacy PAM tools without the headache

PAM Parity: Replacing Your Legacy Endpoint Privilege Management Solution Quickly

Business and technical end-users often require local admin rights to perform tasks or access applications. Adding standard users to the local administrator group may provide workers the permissions they need but creates significant security risk and may violate regulatory compliance. Microsoft’s Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) also creates risk, as bad actors can easily exploit temporary privileged access. Without the right balance of privilege and productivity, organizations are forced to sacrifice security for operational efficiency.

Fortunately, advanced endpoint privilege management technology provides organizations with the tools they need to securely elevate local admin rights on an as-needed basis. With advanced endpoint privilege management, domain administrators can elevate local admin rights for only the applications and processes end-users need. By elevating admin rights for specific applications and tasks, organizations can sustain organizational productivity without the risk of over-privileged users. Join Jeremy Moskowitz, 17X Microsoft MVP, for a demonstration of how this technology works and can be used to address common endpoint security and productivity challenges.

During this webinar you will learn how advanced endpoint privilege management technologies:
- Elevate admin rights for specific applications and processes across domain-joined, non-domain joined, MDM enrolled, and virtual environments
- Overcome the security risks associated with LAPS and local administrator groups
- Enable end-users to request elevated permissions on an as-needed basis
- Manage read, write and execute permissions for USB sticks and external storage drives.

Cómo evitar la fuga de información sensible de su empresa [Spanish]

A single improper change to an AD object can seriously damage both performance and security — so you need a solution that empowers you to quickly pinpoint and roll back those modifications. More broadly, you need to be able to spot suspicious behaviour in time to prevent costly breaches and downtime.

During the webinar, we’ll show you how you can:

Proactively identify and mitigate AD security gaps before attackers exploit them.
Promptly detect and contain even advanced threats.
Quickly recover from undesired changes and security incidents.

If the Breach Comes: Defend & Recover Your Active Directory

Join us for an in-depth look at the sophisticated tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) that attackers employ to compromise credentials and data.

In this 40-minute session, we explain and demonstrate all key phases of the cyber kill chain, including discovery, privilege escalation, lateral movement and persistence.

Detecting and Mitigating Active Directory Attacks

Le paysage des menaces évolue rapidement, avec des attaques devenant de plus en plus sophistiquées et couteuses pour les entreprises. Une seule modification inappropriée dans Active Directory peut gravement nuire aux performances et à la sécurité. Il est important d` être en mesure de repérer à temps les menaces avant leur manifestation afin d'éviter les brèches et la perte d'activité coûteuses.

Regardez notre webinaire pour découvrir comment vous pouvez :

- Identifier de manière proactive et atténuer les failles de sécurité AD avant que les attaquants ne les exploitent
- Détecter en temps réel les attaques, même les plus avancées
- Simplifier l`investigation et la récupération en cas d`incident
- Arrêter les incidents ultra rapidement pour éviter les dommages graves

Comment détecter les menaces pour AD en temps réel [French]

The average time to detect a data breach is 207 days, according to the Cost of a Data Breach Report 2022 by IBM. When adversaries compromise your network, typically they don’t start acting right away; they keep a low profile to look around and identify the best ways to compromise your network. This malicious activity often includes making changes to system configuration files — changes that can be detected by file integrity monitoring (FIM).

Of course, legitimate activity like patching can also result in configuration changes, so to avoid alert fatigue, you need a FIM solution that can distinguish between planned and unplanned changes.

Watch this webinar to discover how to: 
- Minimise your attack surface area by establishing and maintaining secure configurations
- Spot early signs of cyber threats by analysing unexpected configuration changes
- Ensure compliance by implementing CIS controls and benchmarks

Having a layered defense is of paramount importance because if one level of mitigation fails, another one takes over. The more layers of security present, the more resilience you have against multiple failures in strategy. Mitigations you can try and cut down on lateral movement include aggressive auditing, network segmentation, firewall rules, GPOs/Intune, PAM, user access control, and more.
