Detecting Adversary Intent: Analyzing Behavioral Tells in Admin Logs with Allison Wikoff

A podcast episode overview that examines evolving identity-based threats: how attackers bypass MFA and exploit non-human identities (service accounts, APIs, AI agents), the role of AI in accelerating attacks, the convergence of data exfiltration across ransomware, espionage, and sabotage, and the long-term risk of “harvest now, decrypt later” from quantum threats; practical mitigations emphasized include identity hygiene, segmentation, and improved visibility.
