Alongside this shift, defenders are battling the explosion of "Shadow AI" data leaks and sophisticated, synchronous "pretexting" attacks that bypass traditional email-centric security training. Despite these advanced AI-driven threats, the report emphasizes that surviving the modern cyber battlefield requires a refinement of cybersecurity fundamentals—like patch management and access control—rather than a complete revolution.
