At the same time, the security decisions they make also impact core business metrics such as productivity, cost savings, revenue growth, and brand perception. The world of today’s CISOs is a balancing act. On one hand, they are…

Because of this, we worry about clicking on…
From a cyber criminal’s point of view, obtaining privileged account information has the highest ROI of any attack strategy. A malicious actor with privileged account passwords in hand could infiltrate key databases and access highly sensitive data. To obtain this information, attackers use increasingly sophisticated tools and social engineering techniques which are extremely difficult for…
CISO’s have an incredibly important role to fill. One of their biggest responsibilities is empowering employees to recognize and understand how to respond to cyber attacks they face in their daily work and personal lives. With cybersecurity fatigue, it can be difficult to decide which information to focus us. In this video, you will learn…

Your IT Admins, for example, should have standard accounts without privileged network access for day-to-day tasks and be granted privileged access only occasionally as needed. Your business users will need access to applications with restricted privileges that do not interfere with getting their work done.
