Living Off the Cloud: How to move faster than attackers with CDR

Living off the cloud attacks are on the rise, with attackers using rapid, cloud-native techniques to escalate privileges, move laterally between environments, and access critical assets more effectively than ever. In this session, Lauren Place, Product Marketing at Wiz, will present a real-world case study of a "living off the cloud" attack, analysing a step-by-step account of the attack as it unfolded from attacker's perspective. We will then switch gears and rewind the attack, explaining how effective cloud detection and response (CDR) methodologies could — and should — have prevented every step of the attack. Defeating these threats requires powerful centralised visibility and control of all cloud environments and resources. Our key takeaways will therefore be tailored to leveraging the best methodologies and tools to take back the initiative and stop even the most sophisticated cloud attacks.
