The window between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation has collapsed to mere days. As threat actors adopt AI-assisted probing and target third-party software, automated defense is no longer optional.
The latest Cloud Threat Horizons Report from Google can help navigate these shifting risks. Featuring research from the Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) and Mandiant, it offers key findings that include:
- Exploitation speed: Attackers are moving from disclosure to breach in under 72 hours.
- Identity perimeters: Why identity compromise underpinned 83 percent of incidents and how to counter token theft.
- Living-off-the-cloud (LOTC): How actors pivot from personal devices to compromise Kubernetes.
- Supply chain automation: The rise of AI-assisted techniques used to automate credential harvesting.
