CISO 360 – Active Directory Dinner Roundtable
Securing Active Directory: How to Proactively Detect Attacks
Tuesday, 19 July, 17:30-21:30
Princess Ida & Patience Room
The Savoy, London
You are invited to participate in this unique dinner roundtable discussion hosted at The Savoy in London. Guests will have the opportunity to benchmark approaches to mitigating the risks and vulnerabilities in the Active Directory.
Active Directory has become a primary target for advanced cyberattacks and ransomware groups yet it is rarely listed by CISOs protecting it as being a top priority. Behind many breach headline is an insecure Active Directory (AD) deployment. AD has become the favoured target for attackers to elevate privileges and facilitate lateral movement through leveraging known flaws and misconfigurations. Given the rapid change that a modern organisation’s architecture can undergoes, Active Directory security hygiene is a complex matter and the growing frequency with which attackers target it means that CISOs can no longer view it as a backburner item. With greater visibility into potential threat paths and exposures, CISOs can enable their security teams to take a more proactive approach before they can escalate their attacks.
This roundtable discussion will see CISOs compare experiences and mitigations and what should be considered when evaluating security partners. The discussion is driven by the participating guests themselves, but talking points are certain to include:
- What are the top Active Directory questions a CISO should be asking?
- How can we give stakeholders visibility of corporate cybersecurity risks?
- What underlying issues are affecting our Active Directory? How can they be remediated?
- Identifying dangerous trust relationships
- Detecting and responding to Active Directory attacks in real time
- Mitigating the risk of misconfigurations
- Is Active Directory the CISO’s Achilles heel?
- Where are the business leverages for CISOs with Active Directory? What metrics are we using?
- Protecting Active Directory infrastructures with limited resources
- How do we integrate Active Directory with risk-based vulnerability management?
- What are the key challenges for CISOs with Active Directory?
