[Webinar] How to Stop AI-Driven Privilege Escalation With Runtime Identity Controls

Summary: A webinar promoted by The Hacker News addresses how AI accelerates reconnaissance, vulnerability exploitation, and privilege escalation, letting attackers move through systems faster than security teams can investigate. The session argues that authentication, permissions, and access policies are insufficient once a trusted identity is compromised, and it proposes runtime identity security that evaluates and controls access while an identity is actively in use.

What's compelling: The source's own framing is that attackers can compromise identities and escalate privileges in minutes, so discovering suspicious activity after the fact may already be too late - the gap is between who has access and whether that access should still be trusted right now.
