Your SOC doesn’t have an alert problem.
It has a time-to-disrupt problem. ⏱️
Over the last ~24 months, the loudest postmortems keep repeating the same punchline: attackers aren’t “winning” with zero-days… they’re winning with identity + authorization.
OAuth/connected apps that look legit ✅
Session/token replay that bypasses “malware” narratives ✅
Bulk export via APIs that reads like normal business ✅
Meanwhile, big tech is quietly doing the only thing that consistently reduces impact: pre-authorized kill-switches + durable control-plane telemetry. (Fun fact: Google just described disrupting a massive residential proxy pool “by millions,” and Microsoft is standardizing token validation at huge scale. Your backlog can’t compete with that.)
🎯 The fix isn’t “more alerts.”
It’s 3 kill-switches + 4 hunts + a loop: signal → confirm → disrupt → notify.
Question: if an attacker got an OAuth grant today… could you prove you revoked it in <30 minutes?
