  • How Venafi, a CyberArk company Zero Touch PKI Frees Healthcare Company from Mounting Costs & Risk

    A healthcare company found themselves without a PKI lead administrator to manage their increasingly rickety collection of Windows Active Directory Certificate Services.

    The previous PKI lead had warned that properly patching and updating the Windows PKIs was too much work for him to manage. These internal CAs proved to be a constant drain on the IT team’s resources because no one had any clue how they were originally set up years earlier. In addition, everyone who needed machine identities from these CAs faced expensive delays.

    See how they found a solution with zero touch PKI - allowing instant scalability, lightning-fast deployment, better security and efficiency with lower costs.

  • Assessing the Security of Your Active Directory: Privileged Account Risks and Controls

    Note: This is a replay of the webinar with Randy Franklin Smith. If privileged accounts are the most protected, why do they keep appearing in exploits, like the recent Snowflake/Ticketmaster incident? The reasons are two-fold: - Privileged accounts are prime targets. - Many organizations don’t follow best practices. In this session on “Assessing the Security of Your Active Directory,” цу]we’ll focus on privileged accounts to help you improve controls and reduce risks. We’ll cover: Identifying privileged accounts beyond just the Administrators group, including indirect vectors like AD object permissions and Windows system rights. Using Windows Security Logs to track privileged account logons. Limiting privileged account use to same-security-tier endpoints is crucial, as an admin account is only as safe as the endpoint it’s used on. For instance, some Snowflake contractors reportedly used personal computers with infostealer malware. Implementing security tiers for accounts, servers, and endpoints to prevent privileged accounts from being exposed to less secure tiers. Addressing specific risks and controls for privileged accounts in Active Directory. Our sponsor, Netwrix, offers tools perfect for this topic. Netwrix Auditor can: - Report on privileged accounts in Active Directory. - Monitor logons and alert to suspicious activity. - Generate audit trails and reports for privileged activities. - Help prepare for audits and ensure compliance. Jennifer Taufan, Solutions Engineer at Netwrix, will demonstrate these capabilities.

  • Using Behavior to Detect Intrusions Involving Edge Devices

    Any Internet-facing device, appliance, server, or VM is fair game as an initial attack vector to a cyber attacker. They are readily accessible remotely and offer security teams little visibility into whether they are secure, under attack, or compromised. Additionally, those devices running on a Linux kernel can prove to be valuable assets to an attacker: A Linux device can be made a stealthy persistent foothold from which to pivot and begin attacks on your Windows infrastructure, it can be used to assist in exfiltration, and just because it’s been patched doesn’t mean it hasn’t already been exploited and continues to provide access via web shell. All this while your security team may be unaware these devices are still compromised. Attackers choosing to pivot and focus on gaining access to your Windows environment, historically expose themselves to detection through indicators of compromise (IoC) on the network, as well as within the Windows OS, applications, and Active Directory. But with many attackers working to hide their tracks, how can organizations detect attacks and trace them back to edge devices?
