Key Takeaways:
Identity is now a continuously exposed attack surface: Organizations must now defend against exposure that often exists outside the visibility of traditional security controls.
Modern attacks increasingly begin with valid access, not exploitation: Threat actors are increasingly “logging in” using stolen credentials, session cookies, and authenticated browser data harvested by infostealers.
Infostealer activity is driving a rapidly expanding underground economy: Infostealers are now inexpensive and widely accessible, enabling threat actors of varying skill levels access to stolen identity data.
