“Compromising privileged systems remains a core focus of advanced cyber actors. How can we step up our defences to meet the growing threat and reduce the impact of common attacks?

Join NCSC UK for a deep dive into the new Privileged Access Workstation (PAW) guidance. This guidance will help you implement and operate solutions to protect high-risk administrative environments in Enterprise, Operational Technology (OT), Telecoms and other networks.

NCSC have aimed to produce a set of guidance that is actionable by industry and recognises the challenges of deploying scaled technical controls. This has been achieved through a combination of practical experience, industry collaboration and engagements with system owners and operators.

The guidance provides a framework that empowers organisations and cyber security professionals to take control of their privileged access management in an increasingly threatening landscape. 

Together we will examine the characteristics and essential principles of an effective PAW implementation, enabling you to navigate the complex ecosystem of high-risk system administration.

We will illustrate the nuances of establishing a PAW strategy, balancing usability with security, whilst reducing the attack surface. Attendees will gain actionable insights into building a foundation of trust that addresses the risks posed to their environments.”
