Exposing Hidden Attack Paths: How Threats Get Past Your Best Defenses

Dirk Jan’s expertise in Azure tenant security highlights the importance of understanding attack paths, which illustrate how attackers can escalate privileges through permission chaining. Tools like Bloodhound help organizations visualize these paths, revealing gaps in identity governance that attackers exploit. The discussion emphasizes the need for continuous discovery and management of attack paths, especially in hybrid environments, to enhance security. Implementing least privilege and controlling access are crucial strategies to mitigate risks associated with these vulnerabilities. Overall, the video underscores the significance of visibility and proactive measures in managing identities and permissions.
