📊 Threat Landscape Insight
- Ransomware crews are chaining VPN/edge exploits (Ivanti, Fortinet) + privilege escalation (Windows Kernel) to move fast.
- Cloud-native threats (Kubernetes RBAC bypasses) are rising — defenders must harden orchestration environments.
- Webshells & supply-chain plugins remain the stealthy persistence vector of choice.
