Adversary-in-the-middle (AITM) attacks are sophisticated cyber threats where attackers intercept communication between a user and a legitimate service, often utilizing phishing-as-a-service schemes. These attacks can bypass protections like multi-factor authentication (MFA) and exploit methods like reverse web proxies and browser-in-the-middle (BiTM) programs. Best practices for defense include robust MFA and session security, granular conditional access policies, and continuous monitoring for threats.
