Threat actors can inflict massive amounts of damage with little more than end-user credentials. To both enable user access and prevent credential theft, you need a strong strategy for identity and access management. Discover specialized techniques for identifying and countering attacks targeting identity systems, which have become primary targets for sophisticated threat actors. This session covers identity-focused threat hunting, detection of credential theft, and response strategies for identity system compromises. Security teams will gain practical guidance for implementing ITDR capabilities that complement existing security monitoring and incident response processes.
