Curious about what hackers really think of your cyber defenses? Thycotic’s new 2018 Black Hat Conference survey conducted in Las Vegas in August reveals some disturbing answers.

  • 75% hackers say companies fail at applying the principle of least privilege
  • 50% of hackers say they easily compromised both Windows 10/8 within the past year
  • More than 90% say they compromised Windows environments despite the use of Group Policy Objects (GPO)

Join Thycotic’s Chief Cyber Security Scientist Joseph Carson as he dives into what hackers say about top vulnerabilities they exploit, and how companies are failing to control privileged account credentials. He will then guide you through action steps you can take to limit “overprivileged” users without impacting their productivity.
