Replay: 3rd-Party Access: from forensic investigation to threat prevention

Most IT managers and Security Officers know they rely on outdated tools to connect their contractors with their critical systems.

VPNs, static privileges, fragmented monitoring tools, …

They also know the attack surface is growing with the exponential need for 3rd parties access.

So why are they trading off?
Productivity and operational sake.

But when something happens, the trade-off does not seem relevant anymore.

At all.

IT teams can spend hours, days and maybe nights, looking for the problem.

Most “lucky” ones can dig into gigaoctets of PAM sessions recordings.
The very same videos that nobody has ever watched, and that maintained an illusion of security because “if something happens, it’s recorded.”

Now that something’s happened, they are not of any use.
It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But there are safer ways to remotely connect your vendors and contractors to your systems.

Without resigning productivity.
