Getting inside is only the beginning. The real game starts after compromise.
Once attackers land inside an environment, they begin asking three simple questions:

Who am I?
What access do I have?
What can I become?

Those answers determine whether an attacker remains a limited user - or becomes a domain admin, root user, cloud owner, or autonomous operator.

This session takes attendees inside the privilege escalation mindset. We will explore the techniques attackers use to enumerate systems, discover hidden permissions, abuse trust relationships, collect credentials, and move from restricted access to complete control.

Covering Windows, Linux, Cloud, and emerging AI systems, this talk reveals how privilege escalation has evolved from exploiting machines to exploiting identity itself.
