Neither do the people hunting them. During this session, we went behind the data to uncover trends the CyOps Threat Intelligence Researchers and Incident Response Analysts observed in over 300 investigations in the first six months of 2026. **The three patterns that defined 1H 2026** How identity became the front door (80% of host breaches), how attackers turned the help desk's own tools into weapons, and why the SSL-VPN edge is still the easiest way in. **Four real CyOps case studies, start to finish** Akira via SonicWall SSL-VPN, Microsoft Teams vishing, a trojanized open-source installer, and a Gentlemen ransomware BYOVD attempt — traced from first foothold to final stage. **The three defenses to prioritize now** Phishing-resistant MFA, real-time inbox-rule monitoring, and remote-support tool governance, and what CyOps expects for the rest of the AI-accelerated year ahead. Pull up a stool, pour a glass, and get the debrief that actually matters.
