SPEED IS NOW THE ULTIMATE METRIC. For years, ransomware followed a familiar pattern that involved days or even weeks of persistence and recon. Recent campaigns show attackers compressing this entire chain into hours, driven by three converging forces: ✔️ Rapid vulnerability weaponization ✔️ Automation of lateral movement and privilege escalation ✔️ Pre‑built access purchased from IABs Ransomware kill chains shrinking from days to hours is not a technical failure... it is an organizational readiness challenge. Organizations that survive ransomware incidents do not “get lucky.” They make faster decisions because strategy, governance, and execution were aligned before the breach. Read and React: aliascybersecurity.com/blog/ransomwar… The question is no longer if an attacker will get in… but how much of your business they can take with them when they do.

Jonathan Kimmitt delivered a key reminder at @BsidesOK: “You are the controller. You are still liable for what your vendors do.” As AI becomes embedded in third-party tools and services, organizations can’t afford to treat vendor usage as a blind spot. Accountability, risk, and data responsibility don’t disappear... they shift back to you. The real question: Do you truly understand how your vendors are using AI?
