Attackers are increasingly targeting cloud apps and identities without requiring access to traditional networks. With the shift to SaaS adoption, interconnectedness and complexity of digital identities are vulnerable. Security controls for cloud identities are limited, leading to a rise in attacks. Techniques like AiTM phishing, IM phishing, SAMLjacking, Oktajacking, and shadow workflows pose significant security risks.
