• Identity kill chain: A hacker’s eye view of how your systems get pwned
  Alex Weinert – Partner Director of Identity Security, Microsoft Identity
  Tuesday, July 14, 2020 – 11:00 AM
  A kill chain is the set of steps an attacker takes to achieve their objective. This nerve-wracking session includes live demos of current attack methods. You’ll walk through the identity kill chain from an attacker’s perspective and see what they see as they’re taking over your domain. We’ll show you the tools they use, how they apply them, and how they move from one guessed password to total takeover. You’ll see where the weakest links are in identity systems and how best to break the kill chain for each step, and you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of attack mechanics and greater confidence in your ability to defend your organization.
