Adversaries are moving faster and operating more quietly than ever. In this session, Alex Walker shares frontline intelligence from CrowdStrike's 2026 Threat Hunting Report, including nation-state operations from China and Iran against critical infrastructure, eCrime tradecraft and supply chain attacks, and the growing role of AI in adversary capability.
