The Identity Attack Surface

Why Credentials and Privileges Are Today’s Top Cyber Risk

Identity has become the primary attack surface in modern cyberattacks. Today’s adversaries rarely need to exploit vulnerabilities when they can simply log in using stolen credentials, abused privileges, or compromised trust relationships.
 
This session explores the real risks of identity-based cyber-attacks, including credential theft, privilege escalation, and lateral movement techniques that allow attackers to persist undetected inside enterprise environments. Drawing on real-world breach scenarios and incident response insights, the talk demonstrates how identity weaknesses, such as over-privileged accounts, unmanaged identities, and visibility gaps that enable attackers to move from initial access to full compromise.
 
The session also examines why traditional perimeter defenses fail against identity-driven threats and how organizations can adopt practical Zero Trust principles and identity governance strategies to reduce risk. Attendees will learn how to identify high-risk identities, improve visibility across human and machine accounts, and implement controls that limit privilege abuse and credential misuse.
 
Participants will leave with practical guidance to strengthen identity security, reduce attack paths, and align identity governance with modern cybersecurity and business risk management strategies.

Participation is free of charge.
The webinar will be held partially in Czech.

We look forward to seeing you there.
