In this episode of the Managing Uncertainty Podcast, Bryan Strawser, Principal and Chief Executive at Bryghtpath, explores key insights from the 2025 CrowdStrike Global Threat Report. He discusses how modern adversaries are behaving more like high-speed startups—leveraging generative AI, identity compromise, and sophisticated non-malware tactics to scale attacks quickly. With breakout times now averaging just 62 minutes, the threat landscape demands faster detection, tighter controls, and executive-level urgency.

Bryan outlines critical shifts in adversary behavior, from the rise of ransomware-as-a-service to the increased use of AI for phishing and social engineering. He shares strategic takeaways for resilience and security leaders, including identity-centric defenses and tested crisis response protocols. If your organization isn’t preparing to respond in under an hour, you’re already behind.
