Privilege Escalation

Inside the attacker's mind. Outside the defender's blind spot.

Hosted by Cody Kretsinger, Director of Security Research

Privilege Escalation goes inside how attacks happen. Cody Kretsinger worked the offensive side before moving to defense, and each episode takes apart one threat actor, technique or attack chain: how they operate, what they are after, and where environments leave the door open. Every episode closes on how you shut it.
