The Privileged Challenge:
Up until the last few years, IT security managers have spent billions of dollars in securing the parameters of their organizations to keep out those who would bring harm to their internal networks. However in recent years, there is more awareness around a particularly insidious threat. It’s the insider threat. According to CERT, of the insiders who have either maliciously or accidently exposed critical information on a network; 90% percent of them were given administrative rights to critical systems.
Cyber-Ark will present a discussion on this very serious problem that EVERY organization faces in the 21st century. This presentation called “The ‘Privileged’ Challenge” will discuss how the threat manifests itself, how widespread it is, who typically perpetrates these serious crimes and the best practices for protecting your organization.
