Identity-First Attacks: The Kill Chain Defends Five Stages the Attacker Skips
The 2011 kill chain trains you to stop malware at the perimeter. Identity-first attackers skip five of its seven links and log in. What to defend instead.
SIGMA rules, KQL queries, threat hunting playbooks, and incident response guides — built by practitioners, for SOC analysts and detection engineers.

A detection engineer's map of the NHI vendor landscape — and why it's being acquired into platforms before it built the part that catches breaches.
Prompt injection is OWASP's #1 LLM risk and you can't filter it out. Stop detecting the prompt — detect the lethal trifecta closing in one session.
Cloud hands every workload a privileged identity by default. Unlike other machine identities it's bound to one host — use from elsewhere is theft.
An AI agent is a non-human identity with an opaque decision layer. You can't detect the prompt injection — so watch what the agent's credential does.
OAuth abuse bypasses MFA by attacking authorization, not authentication. Most SOCs don't collect consent-grant telemetry — here's what to detect.
