Mind the Gap: Confidence, AI, and the Future of Exposure Management

<h3>Mind the Gap: Confidence, AI, and the Future of Exposure Management</h3>

Former ethical hacker, now founder and CEO of Intruder, Chris Wallis explores whether AI can bridge the divide between finding vulnerabilities and understanding real-world attack context as exploit windows continue to shrink. This conversation dives into the structural "confidence gap" uncovered in Intruder’s 2026 Security Middle Child Report, where executive risk appetite is increasingly decoupled from front-line operational reality.

Modern Phishing Attacks Are Under Multi-Channel Siege

<h3>Modern Phishing Attacks Are Under Multi-Channel Siege</h3>

Recently, there has been a shift in cybercriminals’ behavior, marked by a surge in total phishing attack volume. These attacks are fueled by high-scale automation and a coordinated multi-channel siege targeting corporate collaboration tools. Trusted platforms such as email, Teams, calendars and others are in the cross-hairs, bypassing traditional phishing methods that have worked in the past.

<h3>AI is Now Default Enterprise Accelerator</h3>

The Zscaler ThreatLabz 2026 AI Security Report reveals that enterprise AI adoption has surged by up to 93% year-over-year, yet 100% of tested AI environments remain vulnerable to breaches that can occur in as little as 16 minutes. It highlights a dangerous shift toward "machine-speed" threats, where attackers use generative AI to automate data exfiltration and create sophisticated deepfakes. To combat these risks, the report urges organizations to move beyond simple blocking and instead implement a Zero Trust architecture for safe, AI-native data protection.
