Operational continuity depends on cyber resilience. Maintaining that resilience can be tricky when resources are scarce. Attackers know this and are skilled at turning staffing turnover and technology gaps to their advantage.
Attackers’ favorite means of spreading malware, escalating privilege, and establishing perseverance is the identity infrastructure—typically Microsoft Active Directory (AD), often in combination with Microsoft Entra ID or Okta. Because these services control access to nearly every system and resource throughout your organization, they are a top cyberattack target.
How can government agencies close gaps in identity incident response and disaster recovery? Through automation! In this session, Gil Kirkpatrick (Chief Architect, Semperis) reveals 5 important security steps that federal, state, and local agencies (or any organization) can automate cyber resilience to strengthen the security of the identity infrastructure and speed your ability to respond to and recover from cyberattacks.
Key takeaways:
- Why and how cyberattacks target Active Directory and Entra ID
- How to reduce your identity attack surface
- Ways to speed attack detection
- The benefits of automated response to risky changes
- How to take advantage of automated alerts and notifications
- Why automated AD recovery capabilities are a must-have
