AI-powered attacks are now a commodity. 

Mike Britton, CIO at Abnormal AI, joins Dave Bittner on the CyberWire Daily podcast to discuss how AI-powered attacks have evolved from simple phishing assistance into fully productized cybercrime platforms. Drawing on recent research into platforms like VENOM and EvilTokens, as well as findings from Abnormal's 2026 Attack Landscape Report, Mike explains why sophisticated attacks are becoming accessible to virtually anyone with a subscription fee and what security leaders must do to adapt their threat models to this new reality.

Attackers aren't bypassing your defenses — they're using them.

Today's attackers don't run blind campaigns. They profile targets by role, industry, and security stack — then exploit legitimate tools like Microsoft's own authentication flows to gain persistent access without triggering a single alert. In 2026, the most dangerous attacks look completely normal. Find out what your current email security is missing and why behavioral AI is the only defense built for this reality.
