In our recorded webinar, we will demonstrate how to effectively integrate security into your DevOps, DevSecOps, and SecOps programs to protect devices in your environment from the most common threats of 2020.
We love firewalls and we hate firewalls. We love the protection they provide but hate the level of scrutiny and administration required to keep them compliant. Stop wasting time and get easy access to information with strong Firewall Policy Lifecycle Management.
Privileged accounts are often targets for privilege escalation attacks. There are several great tools out there for discovering and managing privileged accounts, but after researching managing privileged accounts, I could not find what I was looking for, so I decided to write a custom script that helps reduce Privilege Escalation Attacks.
