AppSec blind spots enabling 'Lethal Chain' attack paths via code-to-cloud gaps identified by Wiz and Okta/GitLab experts
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
Security teams continue to rely on isolated AppSec tools that generate high volumes of low-risk alerts, failing to detect multi-stage attack chains that exploit sequential vulnerabilities across development and cloud environments. Attackers increasingly construct "Lethal Chains" by combining multiple seemingly minor flaws—such as a code-level bug and a cloud misconfiguration—into a direct, undetected path to sensitive data. Traditional tools that analyze code or cloud environments in isolation miss these interconnected attack paths, leaving organizations vulnerable to sophisticated intrusions that bypass existing safeguards.

Expert briefing reveals 'Lethal Chain' attack patterns exploiting code-to-cloud gaps in AppSec tooling
A live strategic briefing featuring security leaders from Wiz and ex-Okta/GitLab practitioners will demonstrate how attackers combine sequential vulnerabilities across development and cloud environments to form direct attack paths to sensitive data. The session introduces a practical framework to prioritize high-risk vulnerabilities by mapping real-world attack paths, addressing the "Code-to-Cloud Gap" where traditional tools fail to connect isolated flaws into actionable threat models.
