See real-life attack path scenarios that exploited identity-related exposures

Identities touch every layer of a hybrid environment - Active Directory, cloud, service accounts, machine identities, AI agents. Attackers exploit that reach to break in, move laterally, and cross the boundary between on-prem and cloud to compromise critical assets.

Most exposure management platforms scan for CVEs and flag misconfigurations without examining how permissions, credentials, and access controls connect those findings into exploitable paths.

This e-book charts 11 real attack paths discovered by field experts inside real organizations’ live environments.

Inside you’ll find:

  • The AI Agent Highway: How a developer workflow configuration granted an AI assistant admin rights, opening a direct route to cloud databases.
  • The Single-Key Takeover: How one cached AWS access key exposed 48 out of 49 cloud assets to a near-total environment compromise.
  • The On-Prem Round Trip: How a workstation compromise pivoted into Azure cloud, hijacked an Intune Admin role, and seized control of every enterprise endpoint.
  • The Accidental Admin: How a legacy Active Directory permission glitch allowed a non-privileged phishing foothold to claim full domain control.
