Shownotes

Imagine this: Tuesday morning. Security dashboard green. MFA at 100%. Privileged accounts vaulted. Fortress built.
Then an attacker logs in as your CFO via a stolen browser cookie. No password guess. No brute force. Your stack? Silent.
We dive into Pass-the-Cookie attacks, the elite technique bypassing MFA via infostealer malware and AiTM phishing.
We cover:
• Bearer tokens as the “keycard anyone can use”
• Microsoft’s Token Protection with PRT + TPM for device-bound proof-of-possession
• Okta FastPass, device binding, and ASN/IP session controls
• DBSC: Browsers’ revival of Token Binding to kill cookie theft forever
Plus your playbook of what features to Enable.
Technical deep dive for IAM leaders.
