Smoke and Mirrors: How to hide in Microsoft Azure

Presented at Disobey 2024, Feb. 17, 2024, noon (30 minutes).

As organisations develop their cloud usage, and mature their cloud security operations; attackers have had to identify and develop methods to avoid detection. Our talk will explore techniques that would allow attackers to evade Graph Activity logs, along with methods to enable malicious actions to blend in with legitimate activity.
