Black Hat 2024: Why Knowing Your Users Is The Ultimate Defense
Security Boulevard, Tuesday, August 13th, 2024
Heilman began the conversation with a striking statistic from the 2024 Insider Risk Investigations Report: 77% of malicious insiders attempt to conceal their activities to evade detection. He then posed a crucial question to the panel - how critical is it to monitor user behavior and account activity in identifying and mitigating malicious actions?
Corde emphasized the importance of predictive visibility and having an unfiltered lens into user behavior. Reed underscored that visibility is fundamental, remarking that 'users do different things all the time,' a theme familiar to DTEX blog readers. Stone found it 'crazy' that visibility remains a talking point in 2024, highlighting how far we still have to go in addressing this challenge.
