Open Q&A

Federal agencies have to undergo independent audits to demonstrate compliance with Federal IT audit controls from guidelines such as Federal Information System Controls Audit Manual (FISCAM), Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA), Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE), Financial Improvement and Readiness Guidance (FIAR), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidance, as well as other Federal audits and general Federal IT Controls. Agencies often struggle to achieve a state of readiness for these audits in terms of minimizing IT findings, improving FIAR compliance, and gaining an understanding of options for remediation of IT findings resulting from the audit.

This webinar discussion will explore the major challenges that they face in improving their level of readiness for such audits and strategies that have improved their operational posture for these audits to minimize the findings and resulting corrective actions.

Despite the long standing principles of Least-Privilege and Privilege Access Management (PAM), 90% of organizations experienced at least one identity-related security incident in the past year. Even with the number of security tools in place, attackers are outflanking them through unidentified attack paths. And AI is accelerating and uncovering paths to privilege faster than we’ve ever seen. In this webinar, our panelists will discuss how many organizations still maintain legacy identity platforms and applications, the types of privilege abuse that can (and does) occur and finally the fundamentals for protecting your paths to privilege and why it requires an identity-centric approach.
