Modern Application Control with Least Privilege: The Identity Security Solution Your Endpoints Need

The recent  Shai-Hulud npm worm shows how fast an initial compromise can spread when secrets are poorly managed. After gaining access, the malware used tools like TruffleHog to harvest hardcoded tokens and credentials, then escalated laterally through packages, pipelines, and cloud accounts. It’s a vivid reminder that without strong policies, decentralized secrets management fuels the blast radius of attacks. 

From hands-on work with customers, our security services team has identified four practices that put organizations most at risk: 

 -Shared access across teams – one secret or account reused across multiple workloads. 
-Poor Kubernetes namespace definitions – mixing dev, test, and prod without clear boundaries. 
-Pipelines under a single identity – Jenkins or Ansible jobs running with unrestricted privileges. 
-One cloud account or platform for everything – concentrating risk into a single identity plane. 

For each, our security services team will share real-world stories of how attackers exploit these practices, and the  field-tested solutions that leading organizations are adopting to fix them. You’ll learn why the true risk isn’t just the secret, but the identity behind it—and how centralizing secrets management reduces blast radius, improves visibility, and scales securely without disrupting developers. 

You will learn: 
-How poor secrets practices enable lateral movement and breach escalation. 
-Four real-world pitfalls we see in customer environments—and proven ways to fix them.

Secrets Management Horror Stories from the Field: Four Security Pitfalls to Avoid

Orphaned accounts (inactive or unowned user identities that retain access to critical systems) represent one of the most overlooked security risks in modern enterprises. As organizations expand their digital ecosystems with growing SaaS adoption, these forgotten credentials become backdoors for attackers and compliance nightmares for auditors.

In this webinar, we'll explore how orphaned accounts originate through incomplete offboarding, mergers and acquisitions, contractor access gaps, and application sprawl. You'll learn about the real-world consequences, from security breaches and data exfiltration to compliance violations that can jeopardize SOX, GDPR, and HIPAA adherence.

Discover why manual deprovisioning processes can't keep pace with today's complex identity landscapes, and how modern Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solutions automate the detection and remediation of orphaned accounts. We'll demonstrate how CyberArk Modern IGA provides unified visibility across your entire identity estate, continuously monitors for risky access, and automates cleanup workflows, transforming identity governance from a manual burden into a proactive security control.

Join us to learn best practices for preventing orphaned accounts, establishing automated joiner-mover-leaver processes, and maintaining continuous compliance without the grind.

Digital Ghosts: How to Find and Fix Orphaned Accounts Before Attackers Do

Traditional Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) has long relied on static roles and labels—“Software Engineer,” “Sales Rep,” “Manager.” But in today’s dynamic business environment, this one-dimensional approach quickly becomes outdated, creating role sprawl, endless approval cycles, and review fatigue. The result? Risk is hidden in the noise, while managers rubber-stamp access requests that don’t reflect real-world needs. 

In this webinar, CyberArk Solution Strategy Architect Brian Smits will explore how AI-powered identity profiles transform IGA from guesswork to precision. By analyzing the layered attributes that make each identity unique—such as department, location, projects, and access behaviors—AI Profiles deliver smarter, context-aware access recommendations. The outcome: 
● Up to 80% reduction in review burden 
● Automated onboarding and lifecycle management that adapts as people change roles 
● Clear, auditable evidence that satisfies compliance while focusing attention on true risks 

Join us to see how layered identity insights can help your organization move beyond role fatigue, streamline governance, and achieve access that truly fits the individual—not just their job title.
