Rethinking Authentication: Adversarial Use of Compromised Credentials Forces New Approaches in Identity
The leading cause of data breaches and security issues has been compromised credentials. These are the very things we rely on for solving security and they are the area most successfully attacked. Moreover, that trend is only intensifying as adversaries increasingly leverage GenAI in their attacks; data shows that ATO attempts have increased 46% between 2023 and mid-2025, largely driven by AI-enhanced phishing and social engineering attacks. In this webinar, IANS Faculty Gunnar Peterson offers new ways to think about our most foundational control, authentication, by looking at AuthN from a threat perspective.
- Examine an attacker’s viewpoint of authentication using stolen credentials and how they are used to mount the vast majority of successful attacks on the web
- Walk through recent compromises, such as the Salesloft Drift breach, where attackers used stolen creds to gain access and control
- Hear solutions to approach identity controls and authentication in a new way
