Identity Under Siege: What the Salt Typhoon Campaign Reveals About Trusted Access Risks

Attackers blended into normal email and cloud traffic, maintaining persistent, low‑noise access to sensitive communications. The breach underscores that identity systems have become a primary attack surface, allowing threat actors to operate inside trusted environments without triggering conventional defenses. Vendors like Seceon argue that unified, behavior‑based platforms are essential to detect and remediate such credential‑based intrusions.
