MAAD-AF (an acronym for Microsoft 365 & Azure AD Attack Framework) is an open-source cloud attack framework developed to test the security of Microsoft 365 and Azure AD environments through adversary emulation. Now, when you think about adversaries exploiting security gaps, questionable resilience, and visibility you may be lacking - it is time to get mad, and MAAD-AF!! What is MAAD AF aka M365 & Azure AD Attack Framework Ensuring a resilient cloud configuration with the right detection mechanisms to detect and respond in time can help mitigate and prevent damage from a breach. In my experience, this is what drives resilience. Security teams need the right tools to test cloud security controls in ways that emulate real attacker behavior to understand the gaps and ensure they have the proper visibility to stop an attacker. But first, an understanding of what an attacker does, once they are in your environment is critical to stopping them when preventative measures are bypassed.
Prevention mechanisms like employee education, MFA, and a well-crafted Conditional Access Policy help, but attackers consistently find their way in. With access to an enterprise environment, an attacker can steal data from SaaS applications, including high-value Microsoft 365 data stores like SharePoint, Teams, and Exchange, as well as applications like Salesforce and ADP, and conduct campaigns against federated cloud service providers and hybrid network environments.ĭefenders need to respond to and stop identity-focused attacks against Azure AD and M365 before damage can be done. When a user's identity is compromised, what can an attacker do? The answer is just about anything.
