A few months ago, the Snowflake breach shone a light on the threats posed by infostealers. In it, 80% of the credentials used were seen in infostealer infections dating back to 2020. Naturally, the fact that the credentials that facilitated one of the largest breaches in history were just sitting around on the internet is seriously alarming.

Attackers are also increasingly using infostealers to steal authenticated user sessions, bypass MFA and take over corporate accounts. From there, they can access and steal sensitive data, take over critical functionality, and pivot to conduct more traditional attacks like deploying ransomware.

Join Luke Jennings, VP R&D at Push Security, as he rolls up his sleeves to demonstrate:

• How attackers use infostealers to steal sessions and compromise MFA-protected services like M365.

• How attackers use residential VPNs to bypass conditional access policies.

• How downstream SaaS app sessions can be stolen to avoid the need to access highly protected IDPs like Microsoft and Okta.

Once upon a time, we thought of cyber attacks in terms of recon, port scanning, enumeration, vulnerability identification and exploitation and we had various approaches we would use to frustrate attackers at every phase.

As the cat and mouse game of security continued, this eventually morphed into an endpoint compromise focused process involving initial access, exploitation, persistence, command and control and lateral movement inside a complex internal network. But with the remote working and SaaS revolution, the way organizations work has changed radically – so what does the cyber kill chain look like now?

This talk considers what a new SaaS cyber kill chain looks like for modern organizations that are fully SaaS native without any concept of an internal network, and the surprising number of attacks that are possible without touching company owned endpoints or infrastructure.

We will consider topics like how the initial access stage is changing due to the availability of so many potential beachheads, what lateral movement looks like in a world with no internal infrastructure to migrate to and how persistence methods have changed and are much more resilient to common containment measures such as password resets and secure device wipes.

Finally, we'll consider how the open-source SaaS attacks matrix can be used by both red and blue teams to help navigate this new world.

Attackers are increasingly using new phishing toolkits (open-source, commercial, and criminal) to execute AitM and BitM attacks and bypass traditional phishing prevention controls such as MFA, EDR, and email content filtering.

They're not only harvesting credentials, but stealing live session logins for high-value platforms like Okta and MS365.

In this webinar, our VP Research, Luke Jennings, demonstrates how these tools work as well as how Push uses browser telemetry to detect these toolkits running on webpages and block users from accessing them.

Luke Jennings, Push's VP of R&D, explores the evolution of cyber attacks and the impact of the remote working and SaaS revolution on the cyber kill chain.

He discusses the new SaaS cyber kill chain for modern, fully SaaS native organizations and the surprising number of attacks possible without touching company-owned endpoints or infrastructure.

Luke discusses how initial access, lateral movement, and persistence methods have changed in a world with no internal infrastructure. He also introduces the open-source SaaS attacks matrix as a tool for both red and blue teams navigating this new landscape.

In this episode of Shared Security Luke Jennings VP of Research & Development from Push Security joins us to discuss SaaS attacks and how its possible to compromise an organization without touching a single endpoint or network. Luke talks about his recent SaaS attack research, why SaaS based attacks are different than traditional network based attacks, the SaaS attack matrix which can be used by both red and blue teams, and why its important that this research is shared and talked about in the cybersecurity community.

This talk will consider what a new SaaS cyber kill chain looks like for modern organizations that are fully SaaS native without any concept of an internal network, and the surprising number of attacks that are possible without touching company owned endpoints or infrastructure. In this webinar, you will:

• Discover how most organizations are already hybrid SaaS and are increasingly SaaS-native

• Learn what the cyber kill chain looks like when applied to SaaS-native organizations

• Understand both new variations of old attacks and brand new attack techniques against SaaS-native organizations

• Discover how SaaS opens up serious persistence challenges even in traditional endpoint compromise scenarios

• Learn what the SaaS attacks matrix is and how it can benefit your red and blue teams
