Breach at the Beach: Play the Ultimate Entra ID CTF

Threat actors increasingly exploit legitimate Microsoft Entra ID features — such as service principals, managed identities, and OAuth applications — to blend malicious activity with normal operations, making detection difficult. Non-human identities (NHIs) like app registrations and service accounts are often over-privileged and poorly monitored, creating stealthy pathways for data exfiltration. The rise of AI-assisted attacks amplifies these risks by enabling faster reconnaissance and abuse of cloud identity configurations. This CTF highlights that many security teams lack the hands-on familiarity needed to detect and investigate Entra ID-specific attack patterns before real incidents occur.
