Enterprise security is entering a phase where privilege is increasingly exercised by entities that have no awareness, accountability, or lifecycle in the traditional sense. AI agents, service accounts, and machine identities operate autonomously across cloud and SaaS ecosystems, often with persistent privileges and embedded secrets. As their numbers and capabilities grow, they form a sprawling, dynamic attack surface that conventional, human-centric identity security models struggle to even see, let alone govern.
Martin Kuppinger, Co-Founder and Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts will examine how the rapid growth of non-human identities is reshaping the identity security landscape and discuss why identity-centric security is becoming essential for managing this expanding identity ecosystem.
Felix Gaehtgens, VP Product Strategy at BeyondTrust will share perspectives on how machine identities, AI agents, and automation are transforming privileged access management, including practical approaches for governing machine identities, and controlling privilege sprawl.
Morey J. Haber, Chief Security Advisor at BeyondTrust will guide the discussion through key questions facing security leaders, including real-world risks and best practices for securing agentic AI and non-human identities.
Identity is the new perimeter — and attackers know it. As identity-based threats grow in frequency and complexity, security teams often struggle to detect and respond to vulnerabilities hiding in plain sight. Credentials, entitlements, and access paths are frequently exploited long before traditional controls raise an alert.
To close this gap, organizations are turning to Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR). This new category of defense helps illuminate risks across identity infrastructures in real time, enabling security teams to spot lateral movement, privilege escalation, and behavioral anomalies before damage is done.
In this webinar, Morey J. Haber, Chief Security Advisor at BeyondTrust, and Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts, will open with their perspectives on why identity risks remain so difficult to detect — and how attackers exploit that weakness. From there, they’ll dive into a dialogue on how ITDR helps shift identity security from reactive to proactive, and how tools like risk assessments, endpoint insights, and privilege analysis make a measurable impact. Audience questions will also be taken live.
Morey and Martin bring decades of combined experience in identity and cybersecurity and will share not only what’s changing in the threat landscape, but what you can do about it today. From mapping identity exposure to deploying ITDR in complex environments, this session delivers insights that go beyond the obvious.
Understanding the impact of AI on securing privileged identities has become a critical concern in today's rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape. As artificial intelligence continues to advance, it presents both opportunities and challenges for organizations striving to protect their most sensitive access points. The rise of AI-powered threats has significantly altered the traditional identity attack chain, requiring a fundamental shift in how we approach privileged identity security.
To combat these emerging threats, organizations must leverage cutting-edge technologies and adopt innovative strategies. By implementing AI-driven security solutions, companies can enhance their ability to detect and respond to sophisticated attacks targeting privileged identities. These advanced systems can analyze vast amounts of data in real-time, identifying anomalous behavior and potential security breaches before they escalate. Additionally, machine learning algorithms can continuously adapt and improve security measures, staying one step ahead of evolving AI-powered threats.
Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole, will provide expert insights into the changing landscape of privileged identity security in the age of AI. He will discuss the latest trends in AI-driven threats, their impact on the identity attack chain, and offer strategic recommendations for organizations to strengthen their security posture. Martin will also explore the potential of AI as a defensive tool and how it can be leveraged to enhance privileged access management.
Morey J. Haber, Chief Security Advisor at BeyondTrust will share practical experiences and best practices for safeguarding privileged identities against AI-powered threats. He will present three key tips that organizations can implement to protect themselves from emerging AI-driven attacks. Morey will also discuss real-world case studies demonstrating successful strategies for integrating AI into existing security frameworks to bolster privileged identity protection.
As cyberattacks increase in volume and sophistication it is not a matter of if, but when, your organization will have an incident. Threat actors target accounts, users, and identities via lateral movement and poor identity security hygiene. Detecting and defending against this MUST be the basis of a modern cybersecurity initiative.
Join identity and security experts from KuppingerCole Analysts and BeyondTrust as they share the risks associated with poor identity security disciplines, techniques that external threat actors and insiders leverage, and operational best practices to protect against identity theft, and to develop an effective identity security strategy.
Paul Fisher, Lead Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts, and Morey J. Haber, Chief Security Advisor at BeyondTrust will discuss the central role of identity security for zero trust models, and look at why cyber hygiene, specifically with respect to identity, is still not at the required level, like why there is no 100% adoption of MFA in enterprises. They will also discuss how identity-based attacks are used as the starting point of more elevated attacks.
Join identity and experts at KuppingerCole Analysts and BeyondTrust as they discuss the impact of the evolution of business IT, the trends shaping the identity landscape, the importance of identity security, and the role of privileged access management (PAM), cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM), and identity threat detection and response (ITDR).
Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole, will look at the convergence of PAM, CIEM, and ITDR, and their place within the Identity Fabric concept. He will analyze why new technologies are required to deal with ever-increasing cyberattacks and the reality of today’s hybrid and dynamic IT, and why a holistic approach is needed.
Marc Maiffret, Chief Technology Officer at BeyondTrust, will explain the value of an identity-first security strategy and the pivotal role of PAM, supported by CIEM and ITDR, in building a next-gen security capability. He will share insights on how to reap the rewards of digital transformation, while keeping the attack surface in check and minimizing risk.
How will privileged access management change over the next years? How does this change impact your existing PAM infrastructures? What to consider for your buying decisions?
In this webinar, Morey Haber, Chief Security Officer at BeyondTrust, and Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts, discuss trends in the broader PAM space, covering aspects such as
They share concepts and insights and talk about their perspectives on where PAM is evolving and what organizations should keep in mind for their own PAM strategies and implementations.
At some point, any business connected to the internet is likely to become a victim of a ransomware because they are relatively easy and inexpensive to carry out, but potentially yield large payouts for cybercriminals. The best way of tackling this threat is to know how to break the attack chain. Join security experts from KuppingerCole Analysts and BeyondTrust to find out why digital transformation has massively increased the attack surface, what you need to know about ransomware, why it appears to be winning, and how to create effective defenses against it.
John Tolbert, Lead Analyst at KuppingerCole is joined by Brian Chappell, Chief Security Strategist at BeyondTrust to discuss what security practices can realistically be implemented to defend against ransomware, which has become one of the most common cyber threats facing most organizations, particularly those in the energy, shipping, wholesale, retail, healthcare and financial industry sectors. These experts and security industry veterans will also discuss the role that Privileged Access Management (PAM) can play in mitigating the risks of ransomware and other cyber threats by reducing the opportunities for attackers to access and navigate targeted IT environments.
Viele Unternehmen nutzen heute mehrere Cloud-Dienste, wobei ihre Enduser regelmäßig Dutzende oder sogar Hunderte verschiedener SaaS-Anwendungen verwenden. Diese große Cloud-Migration hat erfolgreich eine Ausweitung des mobilen Arbeitens ermöglicht und beschleunigt Initiativen zur digitalen Transformation. Eine steigende Anzahl an Cloud-Diensten bedeutet allerdings ebenso einen Anstieg an IT-Sicherheitsherausforderungen. Neben den grundlegenden Cloud-Sicherheitsaspekten entsteht eine zusätzliche Komplexität sowie Interoperabilitätsprobleme, die sich aus siloartigen Identity Stores, nativen Toolsets und einem Konflikt aufgrund der geteilten Verantwortlichkeiten der Cloud-Anbieter ergeben. All das schafft eine erweiterte Angriffsfläche und muss von Unternehmen adressiert werden.
Die Identity Challenge ist die wichtigste Sicherheitsherausforderung die es für Unternehmen zu lösen gilt und wird primär durch die Standardisierung des Managements und der Sicherheitskontrollen im gesamten IT-Ökosystem bewältigt. Nehmen Sie an dieser Sitzung teil und erfahren Sie mehr über:
As users, devices and application workloads move outside the corporate network, the traditional model of enforcing security at the network perimeter is no longer effective. A Zero Trust model offers an alternative that secures data while ensuring it is accessible to employees, regardless of where they are working. But the path to achieving Zero Trust is unclear for many organizations.
Viele Organisationen stehen vor der Herausforderung Richtlinien für das Arbeiten aus dem Home-Office zu implementieren, um unter anderem eine stetig steigende Anzahl an Remote- und Hybrid-Mitarbeitern zu unterstützen. Während ein hybrides Arbeitsmodell eine interessante und aufregende Entwicklung darstellt, waren viele Organisationen nicht auf diese rasche, anfängliche Verlagerung der Arbeitsstruktur in Hybrid- oder Remote-Modelle vorbereitet. Die Nutzung einer Privileged Access Management-Lösung kann federführend dabei unterstützen, Sicherheitsauswirkungen dieser wachsenden Remote- und Hybrid-Belegschaft zu minimieren. Der Vortrag zeigt auf, wie diese neuen Arbeitsmodelle sicher supported sowie weiter ausgebaut werden können und legt dar, welche Rolle ein ganzheitlicher Privileged Access Management-Ansatz hierbei spielt.
