The Anatomy of a Privileged Account Hack
A compromised privileged account can be the difference between a simple network breach and a cyber catastrophe.
When a single system is compromised, it is typically easier to mitigate, isolate, and eradicate the risk and restore control. When a privileged account is breached, it can lead to a major disaster. That's because when a privileged account gets hacked, 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 an IT environment to steal information and wreak havoc.
In this session, you will learn:
- How cybercriminals target their victims;
- What you can do to reduce your risk and prevent abuse of your critical information assets;
- The anatomy of a privileged account hack.
