ObserveIT Webinar: Privileged Identity Management
This document discusses Privilege Identity Management (PIM) at Asurion. It provides an overview of why Asurion deployed a PIM program to better manage privileged accounts and identities. Previously, privileged account information was tracked through methods like sticky notes, spreadsheets, and wikis, and accounts were not properly monitored or access controlled. The presentation outlines Asurion's past issues, current PIM practices like using a secure password vault and auditing, and future goals to further improve privileged identity governance.

Editor's Notes
- #13 We have over invested in Firewalls, A/V, DLP…. And yet, we still only have half the picture, we don’t understand what it is our users are actually doing.
- #14 And this is the challenge we have with Insider Threat – we don’t know what are users do with the access they have, and we Can’t distinguish between legitimate business use and abuse Crowd-based research in cooperation with the 260,000+ member Information Security Community
- #15 With 6.0 we add Insider Threat Intelligence to our User Activity Monitoring Solution to Cover the full scope of insider threat.
- #16 Let’s talk about Insider Threat Intelligence with ObserveIT and what makes us so special and different. First, we are focused, from the group up, on the USER – and Insider Threats are at their core a People Problem. This approach allows provides a clear picture of the risk users present and enable you to do something about it. Our Insider Threat Intelligence takes a 3-step approach to protecting companies against Insider Threats. We collect all user activity leveraging our agent technology and provide essentially screen scrapes all activity and index the textual information on the screen. This includes “Collecting” the information need to distinguish abuse from legitimate use via Visual Screen Recording Technology, and transcribe what’s taking place into User Activity Logs. Next, we have unique capabilities to detect risky insider activity with rule-based User Behavior Analytics, and Activity Alerting. Finally, we can take action and quickly respond to users putting your business at risk with Live Session Response and Session Shutdown.
- #17 We apply our Insider Threat Intelligence across the full scope of Insider Threats: Employees, Privileged users and even trusted third-parties. When dealing with Employees most customers are concerned data extraction and fraudulent activity within core applications. The use case can range from monitoring call center employees to individuals on HR Watch-lists. With Privileged Users, we see customer looking to see if users are abusing their access or concerned about data leakage. It can range from Help Desk user to DBAs to enforcing Segregation of Duties. We also see a lot of customers looking to track all High Privilege Accounts like system admins on all their servers. Third-parties is a big one and where our roots tie back too. Most customers are monitoring third-parties to trust, but verify their work and make sure IP isn’t leaving with them or that they aren’t bring down any servers. We see customers monitoring Contractors, Remote Vendors to Completely Outsourced IT shops. Underpinning all of these groups is Audit and Compliance – whether it’s to satisfy Audit controls or map to a Security Framework.
- #18 Exchange Admins!! Today we see a lot of customers handing out root privileges like after-dinner mints. And when it comes to Privileged user monitoring, customer are concerned with unauthorized changes or access, admins abusing their privileges or what users are doing with local accounts. Unauthorized Changes Entitlement changes Creation of Local Accounts Password resets Abusing Privileges Admin / “Root” logins Lateral Movement ‘rm’ ‘cp’ with ‘sudo’ Creating “backdoors” ‘leapfrog’ logins Unnecessary Access Unauthorized access Unsecure ‘shell’ Unapproved ‘setuid’
