Identity is the first line of defense for securing critical infrastructure. However, as organizations scale, managing credentials across multiple deployment models—cloud, on-prem, and hybrid— as well as multiple environments—Windows, Mac, and Linux— have become increasingly complex. Adversaries are exploiting gaps in identity, credential, and access management (ICAM) to target essential systems, making credential security a top priority for security leaders.

In this webinar, we dive deep into real-world use cases of leveraging a flexible solution to ensure operational resilience and regulatory compliance. You will discover:

— How evolving threats are exploiting identity vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure
— Why credential management is essential to eliminating identity-based attack vectors
— How to simply credential management by unifying authentication, automating credential workflows, and enforcing zero-trust principles

Front Line: Identity Security Best Practices for Critical Assets and Infrastructure

Identity is the root of cybersecurity. However, the rapidly increasing number of identities we use has made them the primary target for adversaries and made “identity risk” a Top Three battle for CISOs. In this webinar, we explore: 

— How the Identity Diaspora brings new, escalating risks 
— How a range of tools (IdRM, ITDR, and ISPM) look to address them 
— How cyber teams need a way to Identify these risks, Quantify their impact, and Fortify identities against them  

We also hear how Leidos—a global leader in defense, aviation, IT, and biomedical research—plans to use identity fabric concepts to address these new threats and stay ahead of them.

The Identity Diaspora: Modern Identity Risks and How to Manage Them

To maintain resilience against modern cyber-attacks, modern enterprises need to support a wide range of authentication credentials: from X.509-based certificates to FIDO passkeys, from LDAP to OAuth, and from Kerberos to hardware-hosted tokens. Managing the lifecycles of these disparate credentials, from issuance to revocation or renewal, is no easy task. Some (like FIDO) were designed for individual user authentication, and some (like LDAP) were developed for large-scale IT admin automation. Unifying these different approaches in an advanced but simple credential management system is the path to resilient, enterprise-class authentication.   

Microsoft’s Entra ID is an industry-leading identity and access management solution that provides authentication and authorization services across a broad swath of products uses.
