Privilege escalation: The attack path most security tools overlook

Date:  August 11, 2026

Time:  11:00 am EDT

Your security stack may detect the initial compromise. But what happens next?

Getting in is just the beginning. Privilege escalation is the real objective. Once attackers gain elevated privileges, they can swiftly disable defenses, steal credentials, and move laterally across your environment to access sensitive systems and data. 

Join ThreatLocker CEO and Co-founder Danny Jenkins as he breaks down how attackers exploit privilege escalation, why detection alone often isn't enough, and how a preventive, Zero Trust approach can stop attackers before they disrupt your operations.

In this webinar, you will learn why privilege escalation is a critical step in modern cyberattacks and:

  • Recognize the techniques attackers use to gain elevated privileges
  • Identify where traditional security tools leave dangerous gaps
  • Prevent unauthorized privilege escalation without impacting legitimate work
  • Control elevation at the application level so users can stay productive without full local admin access
  • Strengthen your security posture with practical Zero Trust controls

Attackers are counting on privilege escalation. Make sure they're counting on the wrong environment. Register now to secure your spot.
