Roundtable: The Edge Under Attack—Expert Insights on Adversary Behavior

Network edge devices have become a prime target for modern cyber adversaries—often operating with limited visibility and few traditional security controls.

In this expert-led roundtable, threat intelligence, threat hunting, and detection engineering specialists break down how attackers exploit edge infrastructure for stealthy access, long-term persistence, and large-scale espionage. The discussion covers real-world attacker tactics, nation-state activity, firmware-level persistence, and how generative AI is accelerating vulnerability exploitation.

What you’ll learn:

• How attackers turn edge devices into stealthy entry points and long-term footholds
• Why traditional security controls fail at the edge
• The role of firmware abuse, credential access, and proxy infrastructure in modern campaigns
• How to recognize post-compromise behavior when visibility is limited
• What threat hunters prioritize after an edge device compromise
• How detection engineers build signals from limited edge telemetry
