We all know passwords and firewalls are important, but what about the invisible threats lurking beneath the surface of your systems?

Identity Threat Exposures (ITEs) are like secret tunnels for hackers – they make your security way more vulnerable than you think.

Think of it like this: misconfigurations, forgotten accounts, and old settings are like cracks in your digital fortress walls. Hackers exploit these weaknesses to steal login information, gain sneaky access, and move around your systems unnoticed, whether they’re in the cloud or on-site.

This upcoming webinar, “Today’s Top 4 Identity Security Threat Exposures: Are You Vulnerable?“ isn’t just for tech experts—it’s about protecting your business.

We’ll use real-world examples and insights from Silverfort’s latest report to show you the hidden dangers of ITEs. You’ll learn about:

• The Top 4 Identity Threats You Might Be Overlooking: We’ll name them and explain why they’re so dangerous.
• Shadow Admins: The Secret Superusers in Your SaaS: How these hidden accounts can put your data at risk.
• Service Accounts: Your Biggest Weakness? Why they’re so easy to exploit, and how to fix it.
• Actionable Steps To Find and Fix Your Weak Spots: Practical, easy-to-follow advice you can start using right away.

Don’t Let Hackers Win. Register for our free webinar and take control of your identity security.

This webinar is a wake-up call. We’ll help you uncover the unseen risks lurking in the shadows and give you the tools to fight back. Think of it as an X-ray vision for your digital security!

Your digital identity is your most important asset. Protect it with the knowledge you’ll gain in this webinar.

In the tumultuous landscape of cybersecurity, the year 2023 left an indelible mark with the brazen exploits of the Scattered Spider threat group. Their attacks targeted the nerve centers of major financial and insurance institutions, culminating in what stands as one of the most impactful ransomware assaults in recent memory.

When organizations have no response plan in place for such an attack, it can become overwhelming attempting to prioritize the next steps that will have a compounding impact on the threat actor’s ability to retain access to and control over a compromised network.

Silverfort’s threat research team interacted closely with the identity threats used by Scattered Spider. and in fact, built a response playbook in real time to respond to an active Scattered Spider attack. This webinar will dissect the real-life scenario in which they were called upon to build and execute a response plan while attackers were moving inside an organization’s hybrid environment.

Hear directly from the Silverfort team about the challenges they faced, including how to rapidly and efficiently (and in as automated a manner as possible) meet the following response goals:

• Put ‘roadblocks’ immediately in place to protect against additional lateral movement from that point forward
• Pinpoint user accounts that were compromised, with a special emphasis on service accounts (a favored Scattered Spider target)
• Eradicate potential malicious presence from the org’s identity infrastructure (again – a favorable and publicly documented Scattered Spider technique)

Additionally, you’ll gain insights into the steps taken in response, focusing on three dimensions of lateral movement:

• User Accounts – We’ll look at the needed policies and monitoring for service accounts, admin users, and domain users
• Identity Infrastructure – We’ll discuss limiting user access, disabling insecure authentication protocols, and further harden authentication requirements
• Other Domain-Joined Machines – We’ll look at limiting inter-machine communication for user’s workstations, temporarily blocking insecure authentication protocols

See you there!
