See how privileges, insecure passwords, administrative rights, and
remote access can be combined as an attack vector to breach any
organization. Cyber attacks continue to increase in volume and
sophistication. It is not a matter of if, but when, your
organization will be breached. Threat actors target the path of
least resistance: users and their privileges. In decades past, an
entire enterprise might be sufficiently managed through just a
handful of credentials. Today's environmental complexity has seen
an explosion of privileged credentials for many different account
types such as domain and local administrators, operating systems
(Windows, Unix, Linux, macOS, etc.), directory services, databases,
applications, cloud instances, networking hardware, Internet of
Things (IoT), social media, and so many more. When unmanaged, these
privileged credentials pose a significant threat from external
hackers and insider threats. We are experiencing an expanding
universe of privileged accounts almost everywhere. There is no one
solution or strategy to provide the protection you need against all
vectors and stages of an attack. And while some new and innovative
products will help protect against or detect against a privilege
attack, they are not guaranteed to stop 100% of malicious activity.
The volume and frequency of privilege-based attacks continues to
increase and test the limits of existing security controls and
solution implementations. Privileged Attack Vectors details the
risks associated with poor privilege management, the techniques
that threat actors leverage, and the defensive measures that
organizations should adopt to protect against an incident, protect
against lateral movement, and improve the ability to detect
malicious activity due to the inappropriate usage of privileged
credentials. This revised and expanded second edition covers new
attack vectors, has updated definitions for privileged access
management (PAM), new strategies for defense, tested empirical
steps for a successful implementation, and includes new disciplines
for least privilege endpoint management and privileged remote
access. What You Will Learn Know how identities, accounts,
credentials, passwords, and exploits can be leveraged to escalate
privileges during an attack Implement defensive and monitoring
strategies to mitigate privilege threats and risk Understand a
10-step universal privilege management implementation plan to guide
you through a successful privilege access management journey
Develop a comprehensive model for documenting risk, compliance, and
reporting based on privilege session activity Who This Book Is For
Security management professionals, new security professionals, and
auditors looking to understand and solve privilege access
management problems
