Attackers Now Need Just 29 Minutes to Own a Network

CrowdStrike's 2026 Global Threat Report finds intrusion "breakouts" accelerated to a median of 29 minutes (as fast as 27 seconds), with attackers increasingly using valid credentials and malware-free techniques to move quickly across cloud, SaaS, and on‑prem environments; unmanaged devices and AI integrations (including Langflow CVE-2025-3248 and MCP spoofing/prompt-injection) were actively exploited, and nation-state and criminal groups leveraged AI to scale reconnaissance, phishing, and malware development.
