- July 16th, 2pm CT
Shawn Anderson
Cybersecurity Director

Active Directory is often the last line of defense before ransomware strikes. Misconfigurations, shared admin paths, and credential sprawl make it a prime target, especially in healthcare.
Attackers are aware of this, and they are exploiting it.
In this session, you’ll see how attackers escalate through your environment before covering proven security models and practical isolation techniques to mitigate risk, enhance control, and protect your systems by design. Built for security and IT teams who manage access, infrastructure, and operational resilience.
What You’ll Learn
- How attackers move from initial access to full control of Active Directory
- Why isolation strategies are more effective than segmentation alone
- How to apply secure-by-design and secure-by-default principles
- What Privileged Access Workstations (PAWs) can do to protect admin access
