The tools you trust can become the weapons they use! We will break down how attackers use PowerShell to maintain long-term access to compromised systems. You’ll learn their common techniques, why they’re so effective, and how to detect them in your environment.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• PowerShell persistence mechanisms – Discover how malware exploits PowerShell’s built-in features to establish and maintain long-term access to compromised systems.
• Cross-technique attack patterns – Understand why these same persistence methods are repurposed for privilege escalation, lateral movement, and credential theft across your network.
• Baseline normal activity – Learn how to establish your environment’s unique “heartbeat” so anomalies stand out clearly instead of drowning in noise.
• Spot rare and suspicious events – Identify low-frequency indicators like unusual logon types, off-hours authentication, administrators accessing unexpected workstations, and service accounts behaving outside their normal patterns.
• Correlate across data sources – Connect the dots between endpoint process creation, network connections, and identity events to reveal hidden attack paths that look like routine IT work.
• Forensic triage techniques – Apply rapid validation methods including memory inspection for injected code, registry analysis for hijacked keys, and Active Directory auditing for suspicious replication or shadow credentials.

Get ready for practical takeaways:
✅ Threat hunting is about mindset + methodology, not just tools.
✅ Focus on what attackers must do to succeed (move, escalate, persist).
✅ Build detection logic around behavioral anchors instead of static signatures.
