From Cookies to Keys: The Threat of Session Hijacking
Session hijacking involves attackers stealing session tokens or cookies to impersonate legitimate users without compromising credentials directly. This technique allows attackers to bypass authentication controls and gain unauthorized access to systems and data, creating a significant risk for enterprise environments.
Why it matters: Security teams need to understand session hijacking as a vector that circumvents password-based defenses; practitioners should implement token protection, secure session handling, and continuous authentication monitoring to detect unauthorized access patterns.
