A practical threat-hunting guide for monday.com Enterprise tenants, covering the full attack lifecycle from initial access through exfiltration. The post explains the platform's data model (boards, workspaces, user types, permission layers) and audit log schema, then walks through specific detection rules for brute-force login, password reset abuse, persistence via user invites and API tokens, privilege escalation through team-join requests, MFA disabling, bulk board exports, and AI agent-based exfiltration. It concludes with a kill-chain correlation approach that chains multiple audit events by user_id to surface high-confidence account takeover scenarios.
