"When I looked ahead to 2026, one issue jumped out in every conversation I had with business leaders: Resilience is buckling under pressure. The pace of change is no longer just fast-it is accelerating beyond the reach of traditional playbooks. We are entering an era of complexity risk, where the greatest threats stem not only from malicious actors, but from the sheer entanglement of our own systems."
"For years, companies have focused their investments on prevention. But AI changed the economics of cyber risk. Offensive AI makes it fast and inexpensive for attackers to generate malware, exploit known vulnerabilities, and pivot across a digital environment. Even strong defenses will miss things. Rubrik's latest research highlights thatonly 28% of organizationsbelieve they can fully recover from a cyberattack within 12 hours-a steep decline from 43% in 2024. The gap in confidence underscores the growing friction between rapid tech adoption and operational resilience."
Resilience is buckling as the pace of technological change accelerates beyond traditional playbooks, creating an era of complexity risk where system entanglement creates emergent threats. Offensive AI lowers the cost and speed of attacks, enabling fast malware generation, exploitation of known vulnerabilities, and lateral pivots across environments. Fewer organizations feel confident about rapid recovery; only 28% believe they can fully recover within 12 hours, down from 43% in 2024. Thriving organizations will prioritize validating data integrity before restoration, create isolated cyber vaults for safe testing and rebuilding, and treat robust recovery engines as essential.
