You've built a strong security stack. You have endpoint protection, cloud posture management, and identity access controls.
Yet attackers are still getting through.
They are not breaking your tools. They are moving around them.
Modern adversaries, including ransomware groups and state-aligned operators, know where your visibility ends. They understand that EDR lacks context beyond the host. They rely on the fact that IAM tools trust valid credentials. They take advantage of CASBs and CSPMs that monitor configurations but not behavior. These limitations create blind spots. Those blind spots are attack gaps, and attackers are using them every day.
This session breaks down the anatomy of a real hybrid attack and exposes four critical failure points where traditional tools fall short:
- Lateral movement inside cloud environments
- Privilege abuse in SaaS and identity systems
- Command-and-control hidden in encrypted traffic
- Misuse of valid credentials after authentication
You will learn how these behaviors escape detection, not because of technical failures, but because the tools in place were never intended to see them. We will also introduce an approach that focuses on behavioral detection across domains. This method surfaces malicious activity without depending on logs, signatures, or agents. If you are spending too much time sorting through low-fidelity alerts and still missing the signals that matter, this session is for you.
