Event Overview
This customer session is part of SilverSky’s ongoing SOC Analyst Series, a security education and awareness program designed to give our customers direct access to frontline security expertise. Each briefing focuses on a specific, real-world threat and explains how it works, why it succeeds, and what organizations can do to reduce exposure.
In this installment, one of our experienced security analysts will present a live breakdown of a Microsoft Teams impersonation attack. This social engineering technique is effective because it can bypass traditional email security controls by operating inside trusted collaboration platforms.

Why This Matters
Trusted platforms still require operational security. As attackers shift from traditional inbox-based phishing to collaboration-based social engineering, organizations need visibility, user verification, and response discipline across Microsoft 365, identity, endpoint, and security operations.
SilverSky helps customers strengthen readiness through continuous monitoring, detection, response, and security education grounded in real-world analyst experience.
