“Dwell time, the gap between intrusion and impact, is collapsing. What used to take attackers weeks now takes hours, and AI tooling is shrinking it further. For years we have optimized for better detection. That is no longer enough.”
Adam Khan
VP, Global Security Operations at Barracuda
“Email is no longer just a communication channel — it’s the front line of identity, trust and business continuity. As attackers industrialize phishing with AI and phishing‑as‑a‑service, the future of defense must evolve just as quickly.”
