Identity Defenses: How Attackers Exploit Privilege Gaps & How to Build a Layered Defense

#1676756: Identity Defenses: How Attackers Exploit Privilege Gaps & How to Build a Layered Defense - April 17, 2025

Description:	About the Session Privileged access remains one of the most valuable targets for cybercriminals, yet many organizations still rely on fragmented security strategies that fail to fully protect endpoints, cloud environments, SaaS applications, and third-party access. These gaps create hidden attack paths, allowing adversaries to escalate privileges, move laterally, and execute full-scale breaches before security teams can detect them. In this webinar, renowned cybersecurity expert Paula Januszkiewicz takes you inside the mind of an attacker, demonstrating real-world privilege escalation techniques that exploit weaknesses in traditional least privilege approaches. You’ll see how seemingly minor misconfigurations can be leveraged for privilege abuse, ransomware attacks, and identity-based breaches — and, more importantly, how to prevent them. Join us to learn how a Defense in Depth strategy, built on least privilege enforcement, just-in-time access, and continuous monitoring, helps organizations eliminate privilege gaps, reduce risk, and proactively stop attackers before they can escalate.
