Identities are the latest sweet spot for cybercriminals, now heavily targeting SaaS applications that are especially vulnerable in this attack vector.

The use of SaaS applications involves a wide range of identities, including human and non-human, such as service accounts, API keys, and OAuth authorizations. Consequently, any identity in a SaaS app can create an opening for cybercriminals to compromise, leading to data breaches, compliance violations, and financial losses.

Many safeguards have been developed to better protect human identities, including multi-factor identification and single sign-on (SSO). These measures can protect enterprises against attacks using stolen credentials, such as password sprays.

Protecting non-human identities is more challenging, as MFA and SSO are usually not feasible with accounts that are not associated with any individual employee. Non-human accounts are also more sensitive since they come with the high privileges needed for integration activities. Cybersecurity for non-human entities requires different tactics, including monitoring tools to detect abnormal behavior indicative of different types of suspicious activity.

Despite the risks, the activity of non-human accounts is often overlooked. For non-human identities, advanced methods such as automated security checks must be deployed to detect unusual activity. Tools such as ITDR provide a defensive layer to help boost identity fabric to protect enterprises from attacks.

Join an informative webinar with Maor Bin, CEO and co-founder of Adaptive Shield, where he will dive into the identity risks in SaaS applications, and explain how to defend the SaaS environment through a strong identity security posture.

Topics to be covered during the webinar:

• The new attack surface: Discover how identities, including human users, service accounts, and API keys, are being exploited by cybercriminals.
• Identity-centric threats: Understand the unique risks posed by compromised identities within your SaaS environment.
• Managing Identities: Learn how to detect Identity threats through SSPM and ITDR

In the digital age, the battleground for security professionals is not only evolving, it’s expanding at an alarming rate. The upcoming webinar, “The Art of Privilege Escalation – How Hackers Become Admins,” offers an unmissable opportunity for IT security experts to stay ahead in this relentless cyber war.

Privilege escalation – the term might sound benign, but in the hands of a skilled hacker, it’s a devastating tactic. It’s a method where cyber attackers, starting as standard users, clandestinely climb the ladder of access, eventually gaining root-level control.

This isn’t just a breach; it’s a systematic takeover of your entire network. Picture a scenario where cybercriminals roam freely through your network, turning your layers of defense into mere spectators. It’s a chilling thought, but it’s a reality faced by organizations across the globe.

What if you could anticipate and counter these threats? Expertly delivered by Joseph Carson, Chief Security Scientist (CSS) & Advisory CISO at Delinea, this webinar aims to turn the tables on cyber attackers.

• Unlock the Enemy’s Playbook: Delve into the mind of a cyber attacker. Learn how they escalate privileges from regular user accounts to dominant administrative controls. Understanding their tactics is the first step in crafting an effective defense strategy.
• Tool Mastery: It’s not enough to know the threat; you must be equipped to counter it. Our webinar showcases advanced tools specifically designed to detect and thwart privilege escalation attempts. Get hands-on experience and learn from the masters of cybersecurity.
• Craft Robust Strategies: Knowledge and tools are potent, but without a solid strategy, they’re like unguided missiles. Our session focuses on developing robust, layered defense strategies that protect your network against escalated access risks.

It’s not just a webinar; it’s your step towards transforming your approach to digital security. Take advantage of this chance to be at the forefront of cybersecurity defense.

Jan 08, 2024NewsroomCyber Security / Zero Trust

Digital expansion inevitably increases the external attack surface, making you susceptible to cyberthreats. Threat actors increasingly exploit the vulnerabilities stemming from software and infrastructure exposed to the internet; this ironically includes security tools, particularly firewalls and VPNs, which give attackers direct network access to execute their attacks. In fact, Gartner identified attack surface expansion as a major trend to watch.

So, it is not surprising that External Attack Surface Management (EASM) is a growing priority for organizations. But traditional castle-and-moat-based security architectures are ineffective at protecting enterprises against today’s sophisticated attacks, which increasingly leverage AI and as-a-service models to maximize speed and damage.

Zero trust security is the best way to minimize the attack surface, prevent compromise, eliminate lateral movement, and stop data loss.

Register here and join Apoorva Ravikrishnan, Senior Manager of Product Marketing, to learn:

• The most prominent trends in today’s attack landscape
• How attackers discover and exploit infrastructure as part of their attack sequence
• How to leverage zero trust security to minimize your attack surface

Why attend?

This will not be the first time you might have come across a webinar on minimizing the attack surface. Shadow IT, public cloud web apps, increased usage of open source code, unsecured servers running RDP/VNC/SSH/Telnet/SNMP, IoT systems with legacy services, TLS/SSL misconfigurations, and vulnerable remote access systems like VPNs – all increase the attack surface. In truth, many of you would be thinking about reducing your attack surface daily. However, this is an excellent opportunity to hear about how even security tools such as VPNs and Firewalls increase your attack surface and what you can do about it.

• Understand how to take control of your digital footprint to reduce your external attack surface.
• Get to know why traditional security architecture is not built for digital transformation.
• Understand more about User-to-App segmentation for granular access and risk reduction.
• Get actionable insights from Zscaler – the world’s largest security cloud and a pioneer in Zero Trust architecture.
