Cybercriminals seek and need credentials and privileges to conduct their attacks. Provisioning, connecting, and controlling user IDs and passwords will only take organizations so far. It is now a top priority for security teams to protect their organization's credentials, entitlements, privileges, and the systems that manage them.

In this session, Frank Ohlhorst and Carolyn Crandall will discuss:

• What identity protection looks like beyond traditional provisioning, connecting, and controlling identities.
• What conditions allow attackers to leverage credentials, Active Directory, and the vast over-provisioning and policy drift of entitlements in the cloud.
• How to close gaps between Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Identity Protection solutions.
• Insights Frank uncovered while reviewing the latest Identity Detection and Response tools.
• How to justify budget and validate the need for identity security. (Hint: Ransomware readiness assessments all point to Active Directory misconfigurations that can grant attackers access and control.)
