Cyber attacks are constantly evolving, but if you look closely at the anatomy of modern breaches, one consistent truth emerges: identity has become the primary battleground.
As infrastructures shift, the traditional perimeter has practically vanished. Between rapid cloud adoption, the proliferation of service accounts, sprawling webs of tokens and secrets, and the rapid integration of AI-driven technologies, the identity attack surface is growing faster than most teams can manage.
Despite this, many organizations are still wrestling with the same foundational questions: Who actually owns identity security? And are we focusing enough on the fundamentals?
Join Us for Our Next Session
To untangle these challenges, we are thrilled to announce our next BrumSec Connect event. On Wednesday, 5th August, we are welcoming Andy Withers from Orbital IAM to the West Midlands Cyber Hub to present his talk: “The Identity Crisis.”
Andy will be taking a deep dive into how Identity and Access Management (IAM) has evolved, why identity compromise continues to be the fatal flaw in so many major breaches, and exactly what organizations need to be prioritizing in today’s complex threat landscape.
What to Expect on the Night:
- Real-World Context: An unvarnished look at the changing identity landscape and how attackers are exploiting it.
- Open Discussion: A collaborative look at the IAM roadblocks and challenges organizations are currently facing.
- Actionable Strategy: Practical, foundational takeaways for hardening your identity security posture.
- Community Networking: As always, the chance to connect, share ideas, and grab a slice of pizza with your fellow Midlands cybersecurity professionals.
