CyberArk conducts webinars to raise awareness about ISO/IEC 27002 standards

CyberArk, the company that protects organisations from cyber attacks that have made their way inside the network perimeter, will be hosting two 30-minute webinars to raise awareness about ISO/IEC 27002 standards and privileged accounts.

Privileged accounts, which consist of IT administrative credentials, default and hardcoded passwords, application backdoors and more, are targeted in nearly every significant cyber attack. In response, organisations are increasingly adopting best practices standards for securing these accounts, including the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electotechnical Commission (IEC) 27002 standard. The standards highlight the critical nature of privileged account abuse as part of advanced attacks, warning that “the inappropriate use of system administrator privileges...is a major contributory factor to failures or breaches of systems.” 

“Privileged accounts represent a serious vulnerability,” said John Worrall, CMO, CyberArk. “Organisations adhering to ISO/IEC guidelines for safeguarding privileged access are taking a huge step forward in mitigating advanced attacks. The new whitepaper outlines how CyberArk helps organisations implement the controls outlined in the ISO/IEC standards.”
