A webinar will address how artificial intelligence accelerates reconnaissance, exploitation of vulnerabilities, and privilege escalation, enabling attackers to move through systems rapidly.
The focus will be on using runtime identity controls to stop AI-driven privilege escalation, as a compromised account can quickly become a starting point for broader system compromise.
The dangerous aspect of stolen identity is not just the initial login, but the subsequent actions an attacker can take with that access.
