In a follow-up to its 2026 Global Threat Report, CrowdStrike has published a cybersecurity playbook (Playbook) with lessons drawn from this year’s key cyber threats. The Playbook focuses on six common risk areas, including AI, ransomware, perimeter devices, supply chain, zero-day vulnerabilities and cloud and software-as-a-service platforms. It explains common attack targets and vectors, how adversaries leverage vulnerabilities and how organizations can protect themselves with respect to each. This article synthesizes the key takeaways from the Playbook. See “Mitigating Cyber Risks From AI and Ever-Stealthier Adversaries” (Apr. 8, 2026).
