Session: Protecting Identity
I would like to present on the importance of protecting the identity within an organization and various ways to protect the identity. The main identity store is Active Directory, and it holds the keys to the kingdom so I will focus on the importance of Active Directory, common attack vectors, and some basic "how to" of cleaning up and protecting Active Directory.
