⤷ AI-Powered Phishing and Deepfakes scale multilingual campaigns and executive impersonation, eroding trust
⤷ OT Malware Evolution targets industrial control systems (ICS), risking operational safety
⤷ MDR/XDR Fragility leaves detection gaps during outages, undermining core security pipelines
⤷ Quantum Cryptography Vulnerabilities threaten legacy encryption, urging post-quantum migration
⤷ Zero-Click Exploits via iMessage enable nation-state spyware, compromising mobile devices
⤷ Boardroom Misalignment risks security underfunding without business-relevant metrics
