The Diana Initiative 2020

Applications are modernizing. With that, the way permissions for these applications are granted are also changing. These new changes can allow an attacker to have sustained persistence in plain sight if we don’t understand how these work and where to look. What’s the difference if an application has permissions or an application has delegated permissions? Why did that admin account consent to that application, should I be worried? Is that application overprivileged? I have thousands of apps, how do I account for this? In this session we will look to demystify and bring clarity to these questions. You’ll understand these new application models and how they can be abused for sustained persistence, how these permissions work and what overprivileged looks like and finally, how to find them in your environment.
