How Modern Attacks Actually Start - and Why Defenders Are Under Pressure

Modern attacks don’t unfold the way most defenders expect. In this session, we unpack how today’s threat landscape is evolving - and how attackers are adapting faster than traditional defenses.

The discussion will explore initial access vectors, identity misuse, cloud misconfigurations, and how AI is accelerating attacker speed and scale. Rather than focusing on how attackers think, this panel shifts the conversation to how attackers adapt - and how defenders fall behind.
