Credential-based attacks now account for nearly one in three cyber intrusions, and AI has dramatically lowered the barrier to executing them at scale. Attackers use stolen credentials to blend in as legitimate users, making traditional perimeter defenses ineffective. The piece outlines six concrete detection model shifts security teams should adopt: integrating dark web monitoring into active response workflows, deploying FIDO2-compliant phish-resistant MFA, implementing Continuous Adaptive Trust for real-time re-evaluation, hardening help desks against AI voice cloning, auditing identity sprawl in service accounts, and treating compromised credential alerts with the same urgency as malware detections.
