Presentation: The Next Attack Vectors: Vulnerabilities + Privileges

Speaker: Joe Statz, Security Engineer at Beyond Trust

Topic:Cyber-attacks continue to increase in sophistication and are occurring in such volume that a daily newsfeed littered with tales of new data breaches is now something we've come to expect. Central to almost each of these tales is an element of privilege abuse and/or misuse that resulted in either the initial exploit, or that was implicated in allowing an initial foothold to metastasize into a security event inflicting widespread damage.

This session provides a comprehensive view of how privileges, passwords, and vulnerabilities are being leveraged as attack vectors, and how you can take measurable steps to defend against them.

Bio:Joe Statz, Security Engineer at BeyondTrust has spent 22 years working in IT and more specifically in Security for the last 8.
