While adversaries map attack paths, investigators trace them backward. This talk bridges those worlds translating real cybercrime investigation workflows into structured identity-defense playbooks. Drawing from practical experience training law-enforcement officers and security teams, the session introduces a step-by-step model to document and mitigate identity-based exposures using investigative reasoning. Attendees will learn how to convert investigation logs into attack-path timelines, connect forensic artifacts to identity relationships in BloodHound, and design post-incident remediation playbooks. Real, anonymized case studies illustrate how investigative documentation can accelerate attack-path detection and reduce time-to-mitigation. The talk concludes with actionable frameworks that help organizations operationalize Attack Path Management by embedding investigative discipline into daily defensive operations.
