Synopsis

Break glass accounts are a critical security measure for organisations of all sizes. These accounts are used in emergency situations when regular access to systems and data is unavailable. By having a break glass account in place, organizations can ensure that they can continue to operate even in the event of a disaster.

In this talk, we will discuss the following topics:

  • What are break glass accounts?
  • Why are break glass accounts important?
  • How to create and manage break glass accounts
  • Best practices for securing break glass accounts

We will also discuss some real-world examples of how break glass accounts have been used to protect organizations in the event of a disaster.

By the end of this talk, you will understand the importance of break glass accounts and how to implement them in your organisation.
