As cyber-attacks become more targeted and sophisticated, privileged identities have emerged as one of the most exploited entry points into modern organisations. From compromised admin accounts to over-permissioned users and service identities, attackers increasingly focus on gaining elevated access to move laterally, persist undetected, and maximise impact across environments.

This session explores why traditional approaches such as credential vaulting alone are no longer sufficient, and how eliminating standing privilege can significantly reduce risk and strengthen cyber resilience. Attendees will also learn how modern identity security strategies support compliance with evolving regulations such as NIS2 and DORA, helping organisations align stronger security controls with regulatory expectations.
