Simultaneously, traditional threats persist with critical Exchange zero-days, widespread browser vulnerabilities, and sophisticated supply chain attacks targeting developers and critical infrastructure. CISOs must prioritize immediate patching, robust supply chain security, and a proactive defense strategy against AI-driven threats.
