Beyond Silos: Eliminating Blind Spots Where Adversaries Thrive
Nation-state threat actors have transcended the mere targeting of systems—they're now strategically exploiting the very design of our security architectures. As MacKenzie Brown notes, "They know the value of learning our technologies, tool chains, and security tooling better than we do, for evasion." This methodical exploitation generates dangerous blind spots even in organizations with large security investments.
This technical deep-dive session will examine how the fragmentation of security tools has created ideal conditions for advanced attackers to:
- Mimic legitimate IT administrator activities to avoid detection
- Exploit the "Mere-Exposure effect" where familiarity with technologies breeds overlooked security risks
- Plant persistent access through supply chain compromises while "living off the land"
- Navigate the gaps between endpoint detection, identity management, and cloud security
- Brown will present evidence showing how traditional approaches are faltering: "With every on-prem attack our SOC sees, there are 30 more cloud environment attacks occurring. Fragmented stacks make the puzzle more difficult by adding more pieces requiring more dashboards, more platforms, more logs to acquire, while leaving the front door wide open in forgotten vulnerabilities."
The session will then demonstrate how a Unified Security Posture platform directly addresses these challenges through comprehensive visibility and real-time response capabilities. MSSPs will learn how to implement this unified approach to eliminate blind spots, reduce operational complexity, and deliver measurable security improvements to clients—transforming security from disconnected tools into an integrated defense system that denies adversaries the gaps they exploit.
