Session Title: The Seven Perils of Privilege

Session Synopsis:

Cyber criminals are opportunistic and merciless. They will target security vulnerabilities such as  weak passwords or unnecessary administrator rights. The National Cyber Security Centre recently found that 23.2 million victim accounts worldwide used 123456 as the password, and many companies still provide full admin rights to employees, despite the widely known risks involved.

In this session, we will cover the Seven Perils of Privilege – addressing what they are, their causes, the effects of leaving them unaddressed, and (most importantly) solutions.

Join us to brainstorm and learn:

• What the seven perils of privilege are and why they matter
• Why poor password practices, lax cloud security (and much more) create risk
• How to mitigate these risks and protect your organization
