Access Broker Auction House
from Bare Metal Cyber · host Dr. Jason Edwards
This narrated episode, based on the Wednesday “Headline” feature in Bare Metal Cyber Magazine, takes you inside the underground market where initial access brokers (IABs) quietly auction off entry into corporate networks. Across the episode, we unpack how access gets found, stabilized, and turned into inventory, and why seemingly small design choices in identity, segmentation, and remote access show up as selling points in those listings. The focus stays firmly on leader-level questions: what makes your environment easy to productize, how attackers think about your “street value,” and why this problem will matter over the next several years.
