Unit 42: The Evolving Threat Landscape

Modern organizations face a rapidly evolving threat landscape and sophisticated nation-state operations exist. Per the Palo Alto Networks 2026 Unit 42 Global Incident Response Report, “Attacks involving third-party SaaS applications have surged 3.8x since 2022, accounting for 23% of all attacks as threat actors abuse OAuth tokens and API keys for lateral movement.” In this session, we go behind the scenes of a recent, high-stakes software supply chain attack.

In this webinar, we will cover:

• A step-by-step autopsy of a recent breach, examining how threat actors gained initial access
• How the breach moved laterally through the environment to elevate privileges and maintain persistence
• How the source code was manipulated, nearly triggering a massive downstream offensive

Most importantly, our featured speakers will translate these "war stories" into actionable intelligence. Attendees will leave with immediate hardening steps and security best practices to reduce their attack surface and bolster organizational resilience.
