Roundtable Discussion – The Essential Eight: Overcoming Your Challenges with PAM

Improving their maturity within the Essential Eight is considered daunting for many organisations. Strategies such as application control, restricting admin privileges and user application hardening are seen as difficult to implement effectively without impacting employee productivity.

Join this discussion amongst peers of the Essential Eight, how organisations are aligning to it and how PAM can support those strategies.

Attend this roundtable and you will:

  • Hear from your peers on how they are approaching the Essential Eight in their organisations
