10:50 AM Anatomy of a Privileged Account Hack: How to Identify the Risks and Keep them Contained

Privileged accounts - for both users and service accounts - abound in every healthcare organisation. Almost all these organisations suffer from extreme service account sprawl, perpetuating the unmanaged, uncontrolled expansion of their privileged account attack surface.

And yet a compromised privileged account can be the difference between a simple network breach and a cyber catastrophe. That’s because when privileged credentials get compromised, it allows the attacker to impersonate a trusted employee or system and carry out malicious activity without being detected as an intruder. Once attackers compromise a privileged account, they can typically roam at will through the IT environment and steal organisation and patient information and/or the OT environment and wreak havoc.

Get the answers to these important questions

·        How easy is it to hack most privileged accounts?

What will I learn?
