Introduction
Attackers Are Walking in Right Behind You is a live webinar presented by AgileBlue and Flare that examines the escalating threat of credential exposure and identity-based attacks. The session targets cybersecurity professionals, security operations centre analysts, CISOs and IT managers responsible for protecting organisational assets. With compromised credentials now serving as the primary entry point for a significant proportion of breaches, the webinar addresses why many security teams underestimate this risk and what practical steps can close the gap before attackers exploit it.
About This Event
This virtual event combines expert-led discussion with a live technical demonstration, offering attendees both strategic context and hands-on insight. The format includes an interactive question-and-answer segment, allowing participants to engage directly with the presenters on specific challenges within their own environments. AgileBlue and Flare jointly host the session, drawing on their respective capabilities in managed detection and response and external threat intelligence.
Why Credential Exposure Demands Immediate Attention
Credentials remain among the most valuable commodities on criminal marketplaces. Once a username and password combination is exposed—whether through phishing, infostealer malware or third-party breaches—it can be sold, shared and reused across multiple attack campaigns within hours. The challenge for defenders is that traditional perimeter controls offer limited protection when attackers authenticate using legitimate credentials. From the perspective of most security tools, the malicious actor appears indistinguishable from an authorised user.
This webinar explores how organisations can shift from reactive incident response to proactive credential monitoring. By continuously scanning external sources for exposed credentials, security teams gain the opportunity to invalidate compromised accounts before they are weaponised. The discussion frames this capability as a core component of identity-first threat intelligence, where visibility into the credential supply chain becomes as important as endpoint or network telemetry.
Live Demonstration: From Exposed Credential to Remediation
A central feature of the webinar is a live demonstration illustrating the full lifecycle of credential exposure detection. Attendees will observe how exposed credentials can be identified across dark web forums, paste sites and other external sources, then correlated with internal identity systems to prioritise remediation. The demonstration aims to show how automation can reduce the window of opportunity for attackers, transforming what might otherwise be a days-long investigation into a near-real-time response workflow.
Industry Context
Identity-based attacks have risen sharply as organisations adopt cloud services, remote work infrastructure and federated authentication systems. Each of these trends expands the attack surface for credential theft while simultaneously making traditional network-based detection less effective. Regulatory frameworks in sectors such as healthcare and government increasingly require organisations to demonstrate controls around privileged access and credential hygiene, adding compliance pressure to the operational imperative.
The convergence of threat intelligence and identity and access management reflects a broader industry shift. Security teams are recognising that external visibility—knowing what adversaries already possess—is essential context for internal defence. Without this perspective, organisations risk responding only after damage has occurred.
Who Should Attend
The webinar is suited to security practitioners responsible for threat detection, incident response or identity management. SOC analysts seeking to incorporate external threat intelligence into their workflows will find practical guidance, while CISOs and IT managers can evaluate how credential monitoring fits within broader security strategies. The content is relevant across corporate, government and healthcare environments where credential security carries significant operational and regulatory weight.
Conclusion
As attackers increasingly bypass traditional defences by simply logging in with stolen credentials, organisations must adapt their detection strategies accordingly. This webinar offers a focused examination of the credential exposure problem and demonstrates how identity-first threat intelligence can provide the early warning necessary to prevent account compromise before it escalates into a full breach.
