Summary

Hide ▲

Recent cyber threat intelligence highlights a trend toward operational efficiency in attacker techniques. Intrusions are starting from ordinary workflows and tools, with attackers industrializing their operations through shared infrastructure, repeatable playbooks, and affiliate-style ecosystems. The focus is on reducing time between access and impact, leveraging automation, and exploiting known security gaps rather than unknown threats.
