IAM: What sounds good in theory but often doesn’t work in practice

There’s usually a sizable gap between an identity and access management concept on paper and its actual implementation. This session explains why approaches that are technically sound don’t always roll out as planned — and which organizational, technical, and process-level obstacles cause IAM projects to stall.

• What organizations need to get right so that IAM works day to day, not just as a concept
• Which common pitfalls to account for early
• What it takes to turn IAM concepts into effective everyday practice

IAM as a building block of effective cybersecurity governance

Identities and permissions are among the primary attack surfaces in modern cyberattacks. At the same time, regulatory requirements demand that organizations govern access transparently, minimize risk, and demonstrate compliance.

This session shows how identity and access management can serve as a core building block of effective cybersecurity governance. Using practical examples and live demonstrations with ManageEngine ADManager Plus, you’ll see how organizations automate user and permission processes, reduce risk, and meet governance requirements efficiently.

• The role of IAM in modern cybersecurity governance
• Implementing joiner, mover, and leaver processes
• Enforcing the principle of least privilege
• Controlled permission management and delegation
• Audit and compliance reporting in practice
• Automating identity and permission processes with ADManager Plus

• Why IAM is far more than user management
• How governance requirements translate into technical controls
• How automated processes reduce risk
• What evidence auditors and compliance officers expect
• How ADManager Plus supports effective cybersecurity governance

SIEM: What regulators require and why nobody quite delivers

Security information and event management is either already in place or a regulatory requirement at most organizations. This session maps out where SIEM fits into security and compliance obligations, and focuses on why it so often falls short of expectations in practice — and why regulatory requirements alone don’t guarantee an effective implementation.

• The role SIEM plays in meeting security and compliance requirements
• Why implementation is usually more complex than the regulation suggests
• What organizations need to get right for SIEM to deliver day to day

Beyond log management: Detection & response

How do you catch security incidents early and investigate them efficiently? This practical session uses concrete examples to show how ManageEngine Log360 supports IT and security teams in detecting, analyzing, and responding to threats.

Rather than a lengthy product pitch, you’ll get a live demo built on realistic use cases. See how logs are intelligently correlated, suspicious activity surfaced, and security incidents traced end to end. You’ll also get best practices for running Log360 in day-to-day administration.

• Brief introduction: why detection and response is now non-negotiable
• Live demo: detecting and analyzing security events
• Practical examples from common attack scenarios
• Effective alerting and incident investigation with Log360
• Getting started, and the pitfalls to avoid

• How to use ManageEngine Log360 effectively to detect and analyze security incidents
• Which detection and response capabilities deliver the most value day to day
• How to identify and investigate suspicious activity faster
• Which best practices hold up in real deployments
