CISO Weekly Intelligence Summary

This week's cybersecurity intelligence reveals a perfect storm demanding immediate C-suite action: gaming platforms expose critical RCE vulnerabilities enabling complete system compromise, AI-enhanced phishing achieves 60% success rates with voice cloning from seconds of audio, and supply chain attacks cascade through thousands of organizations as single vendor compromises trigger global disruption. As OSINT weaponization enables cartels to track FBI personnel and cultural security failures persist despite massive awareness investments, organizations face an inflection point: embrace human-centric transformation or accept systematic compromise.
