A forthcoming webinar examines how a compromised identity can be used to gain broader privileges, and how AI can speed target identification, weakness exploitation and privilege escalation.
It will cover continuous access evaluation and real-time security decisions across online services, internal systems, software services and AI environments, alongside controls centered on identity, permissions and access policies.
According to the article, artificial intelligence is accelerating the search for targets, exploiting vulnerabilities in attacks, and gaining elevated privileges. An account that initially appears legitimate can become the first step in a broader attack.
The seminar will examine risks to accounts in online services, internal corporate systems, software services, and artificial intelligence environments. It will present ways to continuously monitor whether access remains secure and make real-time protection decisions.
The article notes that traditional controls often focus on who is logging in, what permissions they have, and what access policies are in place. But attackers can automate part of an attack while security teams are reviewing alerts and deciding how to respond. If someone gains more permissions in a matter of minutes, it can be very slow to recognize suspicious activity after the fact.
The article was published by The Hacker News on October 13, 2026 and is a contribution from its contributor. More information about the seminar can be found on its page.
