AI Summary

A healthcare software provider, which had invested heavily in layered security controls—including MFA, routine vulnerability scanning, and annual penetration tests—believed its segmented environment was secure. The company had separated developer environments, segmented cloud infrastructure, and tightly managed administrative access. An insider threat penetration test conducted by NodeZero® revealed that a single compromised developer credential could quickly enable lateral movement across the environment and reach the cloud infrastructure used for software delivery. The test demonstrated that even with robust controls, unknown paths could allow attackers to compromise cloud resources.
