A Private Endpoint gives a workload a private route to a service. The resolver still influences which destination the workload uses, and that path deserves a security review.

When a Managed Identity Becomes a Pivot

A managed identity removes secret handling, not the paths a compromised workload can use. Trace its authority and network reach to understand when it becomes a pivot.

From Token to Packet: Trace an Azure Workload Attack Path

Trace an Azure workload's identity authority, DNS resolution, and network reachability as separate edges, then test the complete path without overstating what one probe proves.
