Episode 178: Internal Security Controls That Actually Frustrate Attackers

Internal security controls can make or break your ability to stop attackers in their tracks. In this episode, we break down the practical controls that actually frustrate adversaries from real-world red team experience.

  • The power of application control tools like Threat Locker and WDAC to block attacker payloads
  • Why strong identity controls (MFA, Protected Users Group, least privilege) are critical—and rare
  • Real-world risks when admin privileges and service accounts are mismanaged
  • How network segmentation and zero trust slow down or block attacker movement
  • The value of proactive defenses like deception and baselining EDR for anomalous activity detection
