Mitiga Labs

Real-world research.
Where the attacks actually are.

Attack research you can run against your own environment. Mitiga Labs' researchers and responders work real breaches across cloud, SaaS, identity, third-party services, and AI. Every finding comes with the method to check your own estate.

A Skill Is Just Text.
So Is a Backdoor.

INSTRUCTION FILES YOUR AGENT READS — AND NOBODY OPENS.

Rule files, hooks, and CLAUDE.md run automatically the moment an agent loads them. Mitiga Labs found instruction files quietly recording prompts, tokens, and environment variables, then shipping them out. No malware, often no audit log.

What We Saw in 2025.
What Comes Next.

The cloud attack campaigns and research that defined a year.

2025 was the year the threat got smarter. Attackers skipped zero-days and walked in through trusted identities, OAuth links, API chains, and lateral SaaS paths.

From Attacks to Zero Impact

Mitiga Labs is where we take apart cloud, SaaS, identity, third-party services and AI attacks, then write what they find into the detections customers run. Those detections interrupt the next attack before it reaches the business. That's Zero-Impact Breach Prevention.
