Abstract:
Account management may seem like an uninteresting topic compared to recent security-related headlines but it is still one of the fundamental requirements for achieving a proactive enterprise information security program. Internal attackers use their legitimate accounts for unethical purposes and external attackers try to gain internal access through active employee accounts. Good account management still serves as an effective attack deterrent because with current high turnover rates in business, companies often fail to disable employee accounts which can be accessed for illegitimate gain. This presentation will detail important procedures for the creation, monitoring, auditing and deactivation employee company accounts in the teach security part.

In the teach Christ part of the presentation, the term “gatekeeper” which is referred to several roles in the Bible, would be covered. Soldiers served as gatekeepers to protect a walled city from invasion by sounding an alert upon any invasion. Priests served as gatekeepers of a temple to protect it from unholy acts or to ensure that its members followed God’s Commandments. Jesus called Himself “The Gate” as a guardian for His sheep. How does this apply to effective account management and how Jesus is the ultimate gatekeeper against the dangers to our soul will be taught.
