Cyber-Ark®
Software, the leading global information security provider for
protecting and managing privileged accounts and sessions, critical
applications and sensitive information, today announced details of its
presentation at the Cyber
Security for the Chemical Industry USA Conference. The event is a
forum of IT security focused meetings for the chemical, pharmaceutical
and petrochemical industries that aims to help organizations secure
their operational systems from increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks.
In his session, “Securing, Managing and Monitoring Privileged Account
and User Access to Industrial Control Systems,” Cyber-Ark’s Michael
Marino will discuss how privileged accounts have emerged as the primary
target for cyber-attackers, and why chemical organizations that fail to
protect these accounts – that exist in both IT and operational
infrastructure -- leave themselves vulnerable. C-level executives and IT
professionals in attendance will learn how to secure privileged access
to protect their critical infrastructure and meet compliance regulations.

Securing, Managing and Monitoring Privileged Account and User
Access to Industrial Control Systems – Many times
organizations neglect the management of their most privileged
administrative accounts which grant system-wide access to critical
and sensitive systems. Often, these accounts are shared or used by
multiple parties within the organization as well as third-parties
who support the infrastructure, leaving the organization open to a
wide variety of internal and external threats. In order to create
a more secure environment, this session will cover best practices
for proper management, monitoring and audit of these privileged
accounts which exist across IT, critical networks and facilities.
