Perceptions, SaaS Identities and AI This year’s Black Hat USA event was a record-breaker, bringing together more than 22,750 attendees to experience firsthand the latest research, development, and trends in information security (InfoSec).On stage, cybersecurity experts implored audiences to rethink identity and access management as AI can be leveraged by organizations for incident response, and by advanced persistent threat (APT) groups, often which are nation-state backed, to impersonate identities and orchestrate large-scale attacks.But if you look past the spectacle and listen closely, attendees are asking the right questions: “When valid or stolen credentials are used in 4 out of 5 data breaches, how do you protect the identity perimeter?” or “How can we evolve our cybersecurity strategies with AI?” SaaS Identities: Do You Have Full Visibility or Control?Offensive Security Engineer with AppOmni Labs , the industry leading SaaS threat research unit, says: “The biggest security risk of implementing AI and LLM features into applications is exposing them to sensitive data or state-changing actions.Conclusion After 40,000+ steps around Las Vegas and record-shattering numbers for Black Hat’s 26th year, it’s evident that cybersecurity leaders and practitioners are eager to secure their organizations’ most sensitive data, end-user identities, and credentials.
