Black Hat Summit: 4 Identity Security Lessons from ESG & CyberArk

A passwordless future is not far off and that is bad news for cybercriminals.

Watch this replay to learn some surprising facts about passwords and why they pose an increasingly urgent risk for your organization. Find out what alternative authentication methods are available and how you can start taking steps toward improving identity security with less reliance on passwords.

5 Reasons to Ditch Passwords and Make Your Employees (and IT) Happier

Most companies are not immune to security attacks, even if their controls and processes are as tight as Fort Knox. Some of the world’s most technologically advanced enterprises, from Microsoft to SolarWinds to Okta, have faced security incidents and were exposed to risk. Many of these successful cyberattacks did not start with hackers fighting their way through firewalls and intrusion prevention systems or executing zero-day exploits. Instead, threat actors compromised user credentials, took over legitimate user identities, and gained access to internal systems and resources.

In this reality, identities are becoming the frontline in the effort to protect enterprises from breaches. This webinar will explain why companies that invest in Identity Security and leverage defense-in-depth strategies are better equipped to protect their data, users, and customers, whether using solutions from one vendor or integrating technologies from different Access and PAM vendors. We will discuss how a security-first mindset and multi-layered security controls can make it more difficult for hackers to succeed. At the same time, we’ll demonstrate that strong Identity Security controls do not need to harm operational efficiency and the user experience.

Join us to learn about use cases leveraging CyberArk solutions that illustrate Identity Security and defense-in-depth strategies, including:

- Monitoring and auditing high-risk web sessions
- Securing access to all types of resources with adaptive MFA
- Protecting endpoints and enforcing the principle of least privilege
- Providing secure third-party privileged access to critical internal resources
- Storing and sharing credentials for password-based business apps and other sensitive data

Lessons Learned From Okta: A Security-first Approach to Mitigating Identity Provider Risk

Join us as we discuss the fallout and the lessons we can all learn from incidents targeting a critical security layer.

Topics we will cover include:

CyberArk’s perspective on the Jan 2022 Okta incident

Lessons Learned From Okta

We see figures around projected endpoint security spend climbing year-over-year as organizations aim to protect themselves against today’s evolving threat landscape. In a December ‘21 survey by ESG, 75% of respondents indicated that they planned to increase their spending in endpoint security over the next 12 months. Unfortunately, this increase in spend does not result in a decrease in successful endpoint attacks, so what’s missing?

There is a fundamental gap in today’s endpoint security and foundational endpoint controls are being ignored. If you are not managing endpoint privileges, you are leaving the door open to attackers.

In this panel we will discuss topics such as:

- Latest attack trends and deconstructed attacks as researched by CyberArk Labs
- Why endpoint least privilege is often ignored/deprioritized
- How you can successfully achieve endpoint least privilege, effectively reduce risk and enhance security without sacrificing operational efficiency.

Securing the Open Door on Your Endpoints

Cyber insurance is a general line of coverage for mitigating losses and costs stemming from security incidents, such as data breaches, network damage, and potential business interruptions. As the number of security incidents and associated losses skyrocketed in recent years, fueled by ransomware attacks and identity-driven breaches, insurance companies required their customers to adopt preventive controls to be eligible for coverage.

While every cyber insurance policy has its unique set of required preventative measures, a common requirement for all companies is to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect access to all critical resources. Indeed, it is a proven fact that MFA significantly decreases the number of successful cyberattacks on organizations of all sizes, but how do you choose the right MFA solution for your company beyond checking the box on the insurance renewal form? What resources should be prioritized and protected? How to deploy MFA in hybrid or cloud environments with a distributed workforce?

Join Brandon McCaffrey, CyberArk’s Solutions Strategy Architect, and Stas Neyman, Director of Product Marketing, to learn more about cyber insurance, MFA, and putting them together to build a robust end-to-end security strategy for your company.

- Learn about recent changes in the cyber insurance market
- Determine which resources should be protected with MFA
- See how CyberArk solutions can prevent ransomware attacks and security breaches
- Understand how CyberArk can help you meet insurance requirements

How CyberArk enables Cyber Insurance renewals

Gartner projects that in 2022, Endpoint Protection Platforms will take the #1 spot in information security software spending, reaching $15.9B and will continue increasing gap with the second largest segment throughout 2026 reaching $29.2B.

Will this increase in spend result in a decrease in successful endpoint attacks? Historically, it hasn't been the case. So, what's missing? Foundational controls are being ignored, leaving open an endpoint security gap that means: If you are not managing endpoint privileges, you are leaving the door open to attackers.

Join this expert panel to discuss topics such as:

-How the current geo-political climate is exposing the endpoint privilege gap and what it means for security teams on the front lines
-The limitations of commonly adopted endpoint security software
-How removing local admin rights and enforcing least privilege on every endpoint helps shape the defense-in-depth strategy
-Tips for implementing and enforcing endpoint least privilege from a current CyberArk customer
-The benefits of endpoint privilege management, beyond enhanced security

The Endpoint Security Gap: Are you leaving the door open to attackers?

IT departments fret projects such as local admin rights removal and enforcing least privilege, because even with specialized tools these projects involve long periods of data capture, uncertainties around the best course of action after and massive user backlash as a result.

We want to be focused on risk. But given a truly versatile enterprise-grade tool, where do you begin? How do you build the logic? How do you create and layer policies to achieve the desired outcomes?

In this on demand webinar, Matt Balderstone, Global Solutions Strategy Architect, discusses:

- Common challenges and roadblocks security teams run into when implementing endpoint least privilege
- How to reduce significant risk while keeping your end-users happy, productive, and secure
- Tried and true tactics for flattening the learning curve and simplifying advanced concepts

The CyberArk QuickStart framework, an IFTT of Endpoint Privileged Manager (EPM) which makes managing privilege on the endpoint accessible to the mass endpoint security administrator and significantly lowers the chance of human error

Reduce Risk and Ride the Fast Lane to Least Privilege

Today’s enterprises are powered by hundreds of web applications. Many contain sensitive data like financial records, customer information and intellectual property. But most security and compliance organizations have limited visibility and control over how employees are actually using web apps and handling confidential data.

Once an end-user is authenticated and logs in to an application, their actions are only restricted by their roles within the app. And most web apps and SaaS solutions provide only basic audit trails that give security and compliance professionals limited visibility into end-user activity.

Join us on on-demand to learn about our new offering – CyberArk Identity Secure Web Sessions. With Secure Web Sessions, you can gain visibility into every action your users take within web applications, ensure sessions are not left unattended, and prevent user from downloading or copying of sensitive data.

After viewing this webinar, you will:

- Understand specific use cases addressed by Secure Web Sessions

- See product functionality in-action

CyberArk Identity Secure Web Sessions

The techniques, tactics and procedures used by nefarious characters to bypass security controls continue to evolve at a rapid pace. A technique that has proven to be effective in greasing the tracks in gaining the initial foothold is the theft of web session cookies.

Like updating passwords on a regular basis, clearing web browser cookies is a cyber hygiene practice neglected by most. If hijacked, these cookies will enable attackers with the necessary login details to bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Single Sign-on (SSO) and gain access to critical business applications such as Jira or Slack. Threat actors can use this technique as a jumping point to deploy malicious code, social engineer and further carry out their attack.

Watch this on demand webinar to learn how cookies and session IDs can be stolen with ease and how CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) threat protection can prevent this and many other emerging techniques from being used in the wild.

Attendees of this webinar will walk away with:

- Knowledge of various cookie theft tactics
- An example of how gaming company EA was breached when attackers bought stolen cookies on the dark web
- How CyberArk EPM threat prevention policies prevent cookie theft on your endpoints and product demo

How to Prevent Cookie Hijacking, A CyberArk Labs Webinar

It’s a known fact that users create and consistently use weak and easy-to-guess passwords for their personal accounts, despite the risks involved. For example, a quarter of people use passwords like “Password,” “Qwerty,” and “123456”1, and two-thirds reuse the same password across multiple accounts [1].

Unfortunately, these bad habits exist in the workplace as well. The inconvenience and frustration of creating and remembering dozens of passwords with different requirements and logging into multiple business applications every day are exhausting and time-consuming. As a result, employees find ways around security controls and skirt best practices for the sake of productivity.

Business Password Managers can help you address these risks by simplifying how workforce users create, securely store, and share strong credentials with their peers.

In this webinar, we’ll cover how you can:

Curb the impact of end users’ risky behavior and gain more control over workforce credentials
Think long-term when it comes to managing business passwords and make decisions that support greater organizational identity and access initiatives
Improve the user experience, and relieve employees of the burden of remembering, creating and resetting passwords
Satisfy compliance and auditing requirements through password management controls
Find the best password management solution that meets the needs to growing enterprises
Join us on-demand to explore how CyberArk can help you secure business app credentials, provide frictionless user experience, and meet audit and compliance requirements.

Manage Business Passwords Better

Strengthen MFA Security in 2022: Master Authentication Factor Best Practices

Ransomware is widely known to be one of the most pervasive and dangerous cyberthreats. Even though it has been around since 1989 it’s managed to become the fastest growing type of cybercrime during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
 
Research firm Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that the global annual damage costs of ransomware to businesses will top $20 billion in 2021. Dynamic ransomware attacks can quickly spread throughout a company, impairing user productivity and disrupting business. 
 
The first step in the fight against ransomware is to expose it – to explore the different strains, what they have in common and what it is that makes them unique. The team at CyberArk Labs analyzes 100s of new ransomware samples each day and in this webinar, Andy Thompson and Brandon Traffanstedt disclose their findings of evaluating more than 3 million samples to-date. 
 
Here’s what is covered: 

The surge and types of ransomware prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic 
How ransomware has evolved over the years to become such a formidable threat, including the role of Bitcoin 
The kill-chain and path to encryption of today’s modern, dynamic ransomware 
A review of mitigation strategies and recommendations

Ransomware Exposed: Key Learnings from Examining 3 Million Samples

Prevention is the priority in winning the race against Ransomware. 
Ransomware is one of the most concerning cybersecurity threats today. According to CyberSecurity Ventures, Ransomware attacks a business, consumer, or device every 11 seconds and that frequency is only expected to increase. While there is no silver bullet to prevent and protect against ransomware and other types of malware, a defense-in-depth approach to endpoint security can significantly mitigate the risk of a successful attack.

In this webinar, CyberArk’s solution specialists will dive into the rapidly evolving, very pervasive types of malware and mitigation strategies. Using simulated attack scenarios and product demos, he’ll demonstrate how least privilege and application controls are critical to preventing endpoint attacks and winning the race against ransomware.
