Description:

Hackers realize the power of stealing credentials to crack open systems and
gain access to critical information. And, because many organizations do an
inadequate job of protecting their systems—despite patching, hardening, and
firewalls—stealing credentials is an easy hacker target. Many compromises
tie directly into issues relating to credential management.

A cornerstone of all security strategies is an organization’s ability to
control access to data and systems. Virtually all access controls rely on
the use of credentials to validate the identities and permissions of users,
applications, and devices.

The roundtable will invite experts who have insights into the way in which
the problems of credential management, which have so often proven
intractable in practice despite reams of good advice from security
professionals, have been addressed in real world environments and
scenarios. These insights will come from civil society; the academic
community; the financial sector; the technology sector; companies from the
DNS and domain name management industry; operating system, browser, and
games and apps developers; and social media companies.

The roundtable will focus on the presentation of practical problems faced
day to day, well publicized incidents, impacts on reputation and privacy,
direct actions efforts taken, and measures to implement practical solutions
that incorporate best practices for credential management. practical
problems that exist to implement and improve a security and emerging best
practices.


Session format:


The workshop will be organized as a facilitated dialogue. Led by the
moderator, subject experts will debate and discuss the key questions and
issues. Subject experts will give opening comments, after which the
moderator will turn to those attending the session and invited experts in
the audience to engage in facilitated dialogue.

SSAC Advisory #074 on Registrant Protection: Best Practices for Preserving
Security and Stability in the Credential Management Lifecycle was published
last week as a background document for discussion during the session. It is
