A compilation of 16 billion stolen credentials is now circulating online—posing a massive risk to businesses, even if they weren’t directly breached. In this episode of Industry Insight, Bernard Montel Technical Director and Security Strategist from cybersecurity risk and exposure management firm Tenable breaks down how attackers exploit these credentials at scale using automation and AI, and why identity—not networks—is now the primary attack surface. Discover why traditional defences fall short in cloud-first environments, how exposure management evolves beyond vulnerability scanning, and what business leaders can do to proactively reduce identity-related risk.
