A digital break-in rarely looks like the movies. No flashing green code, no frantic hacker racing the clock. In reality, many breaches begin quietly: an unpatched software flaw, a missed cloud configuration, or a stolen session token sitting unnoticed for weeks.In this episode of TechDaily.ai, host David is joined by cybersecurity expert Sophia to unpack what over 31,000 real-world security incidents reveal about the 2026 threat landscape. From the rise in critical vulnerabilities to ransomware supply chains and agentic AI-driven attacks, this conversation breaks down how cybercriminals are moving faster, scaling smarter, and exploiting the gaps organizations leave behind. You’ll hear about:• Why one-third of data breaches now begin with vulnerability exploitation • How the average patching window has stretched to 43 days • Why cloud security often fails because of shared responsibility blind spots • How info stealers can bypass MFA using stolen session tokens • Why ransomware victims are increasingly refusing to pay • How agentic AI is accelerating cybercrime without inventing brand-new attacks • Why defensive AI, MFA, patching discipline, and cloud visibility are becoming essentialThis episode is for business leaders, IT teams, cybersecurity professionals, and anyone relying on cloud services to protect sensitive data. The fundamentals have not changed, but the margin for error is disappearing fast.Listen now, subscribe to TechDaily.ai, and take a closer look at your own digital defenses before attackers’ automated systems do it for you.
