How to Sniff Out Insider Threats

Compounding this issue is recent research showing that over half of companies find it impossible or very difficult to prevent insider attacks. This keynote will teach you how to sniff out and defend against insider threats, including primers on privileged access management and zero-trust frameworks.

The Least Is the Most You Should Do - Establishing Least-Privilege Access in Cloud Infrastructure

Sponsored by: Palo Alto Networks
Presented by: Jason Williams, Product Marketing Manager, Prisma Cloud, Palo Alto Networks

For cloud development teams, the good news is that it’s easier than ever to access infrastructure. For cloud security teams, the bad news is that it’s easier than ever to access infrastructure. And in practice, organizations tend to grant far more access than is actually necessary. Gartner reported in June 2021 that “more than 95% of accounts in IaaS use, on average, less than 3% of the entitlements they are granted, which greatly increases the attack surface for account compromises.” In this session, we will discuss how Prisma Cloud helps users address these new risks and establish principles of least-privilege access.
