Azure IAM is meant to protect your infrastructure. But misconfigurations do the opposite.
5 critical IAM & Entra ID risks - and how to mitigate them: blog.compass-security.com/2025/06/the-...

High-resolution photo of Compass Security’s IoT and industrial penetration-testing workspace: on a light wooden workbench a large-lens, black surveillance camera sits half-disassembled beside its white Synology® housing, revealing the internal printed-circuit board, image sensor and ribbon connectors targeted during firmware extraction and vulnerability analysis. A chaotic web of multicolored diagnostic leads, Ethernet patch cables, alligator clips, UART/serial breakout wires and power adapters snakes across the table, illustrating real-world hardware hacking, fault-injection and secure-boot bypass techniques used in red-team assessments of networked CCTV, smart-factory and critical OT devices. The blue pentagonal TROOPERS25 shield logo occupies the upper-right corner, signalling that this lab scene supports Compass Security’s conference presentation on Pwn2Own-grade research into surveillance-camera exploits, remote-code-execution vectors and zero-day discovery. The image underscores expert penetration-testing methodology—threat modeling, reverse engineering, embedded Linux analysis, secure-element probing and API fuzzing.

Thrilled for #TROOPERS25 Thursday! Emanuele & @yvesbieri.bsky.social share #Pwn2Own wins on #surveillance cams. Method, #exploit, lessons. Drop in, trade war-stories!
