Despite having EDR, IAM, CASB, and cloud posture tools in place, attackers are still slipping through.
Why? Because your stack was built for prevention, not real-time detection across hybrid environments.
As your infrastructure expands across data center, campus, remote work, identity, cloud and IoT/OT environments, your tools remain siloed and blind to how attackers operate today.
They're no longer exploiting software, they’re exploiting the gaps between your controls.
Each of your tools plays a role. But together, they leave blind spots — cloud control planes, federated identity, east-west traffic. This ebook shows you how to close them.
Why Gaps Are Growing Faster Than Your Stack
Your tools were built to stop known threats. But attackers have evolved faster than your stack has. They no longer need to exploit a vulnerability when they can simply log in and blend in.
According to IBM, 40% of successful breaches involve multiple domains such as endpoint, cloud, and identity. This means attackers are not just exploiting one weakness—they are chaining together weaknesses between tools that don't talk to each other.
Traditional tools are missing critical signals:
- EDR focuses on endpoint activity, but does not detect account misuse or lateral movement in Microsoft 365 or Entra ID.
- EPP blocks known malware but misses fileless attacks, credential abuse, and living-off-the-land techniques.
- CASB enforces SaaS policies but lacks visibility into real-time privilege abuse or federated trust exploitation.
- CSPM finds misconfigurations but does not monitor identity attacks, zero-day threats, insider risk and data exfiltration.
- CWPP protects workloads with agents but fails to detect activity in unmanaged workloads or identity layers.
- CNAPP consolidates cloud tools but still overlooks behavioral signals and east-west cloud movement.
- SASE controls access to cloud resources but cannot see what users do once inside the application.
- IAM governs who can log in, but cannot detect when valid credentials are abused or misused.
- PAM protects known privileged accounts but cannot see shadow admins or abuse in federated identity paths.
- UEBA assigns risk scores after behavior occurs, often too late to act in real time.
- SIEM aggregates alerts, but only from tools that are capable of detecting the attack in the first place.
- SOAR automates workflows, but its effectiveness depends entirely on the quality and timing of upstream alerts.
Your SOC is overwhelmed with noise and lacks context to investigate what matters. Meanwhile, attackers move quickly across your environment, from endpoint to cloud to identity, without being noticed.
Even Gartner recognizes that detection and response need to evolve. In its newly released Magic Quadrant for Network Detection and Response, Gartner highlights NDR as a critical layer for detecting threats that other tools miss.
You can’t defend what you can’t see. And today, what you can’t see is exactly what attackers are using to move fast and stay invisible.
Expose the Blind Spots in Your Security Stack
We created the Mind Your Attack Gaps eBook to help you uncover the critical blind spots that attackers exploit every day. It reveals where traditional tools fall short, and what you can do to close those gaps before they’re used against you.
Best-in-class tools don’t equal complete coverage.
Today’s environments span on-prem infrastructure, cloud workloads, SaaS applications, and identity providers. Attackers take advantage of that sprawl, chaining together actions across multiple domains while your tools remain siloed and disconnected.
This resource gives you the clarity your SOC needs to respond with confidence.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- How attackers exploit blind spots between your tools, not flaws within them
- The four key areas where visibility breaks down: Endpoint, Cloud, Network, and Identity
- A real-world hybrid attack scenario modeled after Scattered Spider, showing how attackers evade detection at every step
- A Security Gap matrix (page 8) that maps where common tools lose sight of attacker activity across the kill chain
- How Vectra AI delivers real-time, AI-driven detection across network, identity, and cloud to expose what other tools miss
This isn’t about stacking more controls. It’s about seeing what’s really happening so you can stop threats before they escalate.
Stop assuming your stack is enough.
Find the gaps. Close them.
