Beyond the 30,000 IP Scan. this isn’t just another cybersecurity headline.
The real story is bigger: attackers don’t brute force anymore. They run industrialized reconnaissance pipelines, harvest usernames, buy credentials on the dark web for $10, and compromise enterprises that still expose RDP to the internet.

In this deep-dive, Aakash Rahsi explains why internet-facing RDP is a structural flaw — not just bad hygiene — and why patching is no longer enough.

We’ll cover:
🛡 Surface Minimization: Zero internet-exposed RDP, Azure Bastion, JIT Access with Entra ID + PIM.
🛡 Identity & Credential Fortress: MFA everywhere, Conditional Access, risk-based logins, kill legacy auth.
🛡 Deception & Counter-Intel: Honeypot RDP endpoints, poisoning attacker datasets, Sentinel enrichment.
🛡 Detection & Response Automation: Dashboards for enumeration spikes, Logic Apps playbooks, GreyNoise/AbuseIPDB enrichment.
🛡 Zero Trust Integration: Privileged Access Workstations, compliant devices, session recording, adaptive verification.
🛡 Recovery Blueprint: Immutable backups, rollback runbooks, subnet isolation.

🛡 The defenders who win in 2025 aren’t the ones who patch fastest. They’re the ones who erase attack surfaces, weaponize Microsoft Sentinel telemetry, and turn attacker reconnaissance into liability.

If you’re serious about Microsoft Security, Azure Security, Zero Trust, and enterprise defense strategy, this blueprint is your wake-up call.
