This presentation will explore the critical issue of identity compromise, especially through phishing and session theft in higher education institutions, and present strategies and automated playbooks to prevent such incidents.

Discover the latest strategies and automated playbooks to combat identity theft, including advanced phishing attack prevention and session management techniques. Learn how strong authentication methods, such as Windows Hello (passwordless authentication), can enhance security.

We will share real-life examples, such as how an institution can thwart a phishing attack using these strategies as a defense in depth, such as automated transport rules in Exchange, and example session management controls to prevent unauthorized access during a credential theft incident. We'll also delve into automated remediation techniques and real-life case studies to illustrate the effectiveness of these measures, for example: developing and setting up sentinel (SEIM) playbooks such as revoking compromised user sessions to help remediate the threat.

Don't miss out on practical tips to secure your user identities with innovative cybersecurity insights.
