About this episode

Adam Bateman discusses the dangers of treating Identity Providers like firewalls and the evolution of phishing attacks.

Is your security team treating your Identity Provider (IDP) like a firewall? In this episode, Adam Bateman (CEO & Co-founder of Push Security ) explains why that's a dangerous mistake and how modern attackers are bypassing SSO entirely .Drawing from his background leading red teams that simulated nation-state attacks , Adam breaks down the massive architectural shift from network-based attacks to browser-native exploits. We dive into the terrifying evolution of phishing, from "Click Fix" attacks that trick users into running malicious commands via their clipboard, to "Consent Phishing" that completely takes over Azure without ever touching the endpoint .If your company relies heavily on SaaS applications or Chromebooks, this episode would be a valuable listen.
