The industrialization of identity compromise
Attendees will learn:
- How PhaaS platforms defeat traditional MFA and help create skyrocketing rates of account compromise
- How to use AI-powered ITDR to catch and expose intrusion attempts
- How to implement 24/7 MDR with SOC-as-a-Service, CTEM, and least-privilege principles to protect systems from identity-related threats

The speed of modern identity compromise is outpacing the speed of traditional identity defense, a new report from eSentire makes clear.
In 2025, the report finds, account compromise attacks rose a whopping 389% year-over year with phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platforms enabling exploitation within 14 minutes of credential theft; IT-impersonation attacks increased 14-fold; attacks using valid stolen credentials had an 85% success rate; and 63% of all account-compromise incidents could be traced back to PhaaS platforms.
Traditional identity defenses are not working against an industrialized cybercrime ecosystem using the most modern credential-theft methods. We'll discuss how organizations can fight back using managed detection and response (MDR) services, AI-driven identity threat detection and response (ITDR) platforms, and structural improvements including strong MFA, temporary credentials and session cookies, and limited privileges.
