Presented by Jeffrey Kongswangwongsa, GTM Tech Lead, Identity • Rubrik
Identity infrastructure has quietly become the most critical — and most targeted — attack surface in the enterprise. In this session, we'll explore why today's cyberattacks have fundamentally shifted from malware to identity, and what that means for how organizations need to think about protection and recovery.
The session covers the growing threat landscape around Identity Providers (IdPs) like Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, and Okta, including why detection is no longer the hard part — removal and recovery are. We'll dig into real-world case studies, the dangerous ""domino effect"" that happens when identity systems fail during recovery, and how AI is accelerating the speed and scale of identity-based attacks.
Attendees will walk away with a clearer picture of what modern identity resilience looks like: from protecting IdPs with immutable, air-gapped backups to orchestrating clean recovery in hours instead of weeks — without losing legitimate changes or reintroducing attacker persistence.
