While most attacks against cloud identities still rely on traditional password-based techniques, such as password spraying, credential stuffing, and brute-force attacks, these methods have become less effective as multi-factor authentication (MFA) has become more widespread. As a result, attackers are increasingly turning to token-based techniques, including token theft, adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) attacks, device code phishing, and ConsentFix, which get around MFA instead of trying to break it.
As one of the most widely deployed identity platforms, Microsoft Entra ID is a prime target for these evolving attack techniques. This raises the question: how well does its defense-in-depth strategy actually hold up against this shift? We put it to the test.
