Cyber Snapshot Report: Go beyond the toolchain and build enterprise resilience
Mandiant's Cyber Snapshot Report argues that organizations should shift from prevention-focused security to a resilience model that assumes compromise is inevitable. It emphasizes hardening architecture and preparing human teams to manage crises.
Why it matters
Because attackers target recovery paths and the personal digital footprints of executives, businesses must focus on containing breach impact to avoid total operational failure. This ensures critical services can be restored even after a successful intrusion.
The details
- Exploits remain the top initial infection vector at 32% in M-Trends 2026.
- Voice phishing is the second most common infection vector at 11%.
- GTIG identified the first known zero-day exploit developed with AI.
