Identity is now the most dynamic—and most abused—layer of the enterprise. As legacy systems live alongside SaaS and cloud-native platforms, multi-directory strategies proliferate, and AI agents enter daily workflows, organizations are left wrangling thousands of human, machine, and AI identities across fragmented environments. The result: blind spots everywhere—unmanaged service accounts, unmonitored AI identities, and hidden access paths that attackers convert into lateral movement and privilege escalation.
This Real Training for Free session cuts through the complexity with a unified, identity-first approach. We’ll show how leading teams are regaining end-to-end visibility, shrinking attack surface by enforcing least privilege at scale, and responding faster with controls that stop credential abuse in real time—across on-prem AD, cloud IdPs, SaaS, and emerging AI agents. You’ll leave with a practical framework that turns identity from a fragmented risk into a coherent security layer that strengthens resilience, simplifies compliance, and enables innovation.
4-time Microsoft MVP Nick Cavalancia takes my seat as he first sets the stage and establishes the scope of risk without a unified identity strategy. Topics include:
- The current identity landscape and why fragmentation drives risk
- Where lateral movement and privilege escalation hide in hybrid environments
- What do respected frameworks say about having a unified identity strategy
Up next, we’ll hear from Roy Akerman – VP of Identity Security Strategy at Silverfort.
Roy brings field-tested guidance and concrete techniques you can apply immediately:
- Identity Attack Surface Deep Dive
- How unmanaged service accounts, machine identities, and AI agents create persistent blind spots used for footholds, movement, and escalation.
- Real-World Attack Paths
- Anonymized breach scenarios and red-team findings showing valid account abuse (e.g., T1078), credential dumping (e.g., T1003), and legacy protocol misuse (NTLM, Kerberos) to pivot undetected across cloud and on-prem.
- Detection & Mitigation That Scales
- Mapping relationships across AD, cloud IdPs, and SaaS; uncovering hidden access paths; enforcing unified policies (adaptive MFA, conditional access) that halt attacker movement in real time—without agents or proxies.
- Operationalizing Identity Security
- Building continuous visibility, least-privilege enforcement, and rapid response workflows that integrate with your SIEM, EDR, and IAM—while placing guardrails around AI agents and accelerating cloud adoption safely.
Join us to unify identity security across cloud, on-prem, and AI—so you can eliminate blind spots, block lateral movement, and enable innovation without introducing new risk.
This Real Training for Free Session will be full of real-world practical application.
