In this week's Security Sprint, Dave and Andy covered the following topics:Open:• Ransomware Reinvented: AI-Powered and Autonomous Attacks — Gate 15 — 26 Feb 2026o Across party lines and industry, the verdict is the same: CISA is in trouble “We’re asking states to do a job they’re not resourced to do, while weakening the one federal agency designed to help them,” said Errol Weiss, chief security officer at the Health-ISAC, adding that “this is precisely where you do need a strong, centralized federal security function” and that “we already have a national shortage of cybersecurity experts, and you can’t just replicate that expertise 50 times over.” Overall, Weiss said industry partners have felt the lack of outreach from the agency and are experiencing “fewer touchpoints, fewer briefings, fewer problem-solving calls,” which contributes to “a growing perception that CISA is being hollowed out where it matters most to industry: stakeholder engagement, collaborative forums, and operational support during incidents.” o Gottumukkala out, Andersen in as acting CISA director o States feel the squeeze of CISA shutdown Main Topics:Operation Epic Fury & Related: • Department of Homeland Security warns of potential attacks amid Iran operation • Peace Through Strength: President Trump Launches Operation Epic Fury to Crush Iranian Regime, End Nuclear Threat The White House• U.S. Forces Launch Operation Epic Fury U.S. Central Command• Israel performs largest cyberattack in history against Iran • X Is Drowning in Disinformation Following US and Israeli Attack on Iran • Potential Iran Nexus: Texas gunman wore "Property of Allah" hoodie during attack, had photos of Iranian leaders at home, sources say Cyber Threat Reports• CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report: The Evasive Adversary Wields AI• Speed Wins When Identity Fails: 2026 Annual Threat Report • Total Ransomware Payments Stagnate for Second Consecutive Year, While Attacks Escalate • Quarterly Threat Report: Fourth Quarter, 2025 • IBM X-Force reports 44% surge in exploitation of public-facing applications as supply chain and identity attacks intensify 2026 Cost of Insider Risks Global Report — DTEX Systems and Ponemon Institute —The 2026 Cost of Insider Risks Global Report from Ponemon Institute and DTEX estimates that insider security incidents now cost organizations an average of 19.5 million United States dollars per year, driven mostly by negligent employees in complex digital environments. The study finds that companies with mature insider risk management programs avoid seven incidents and save about 8.2 million dollars annually, while cutting average time to contain from 86 days in 2023 to 67 days as budgets for insider programs nearly double. Researchers highlight the impact of shadow artificial intelligence, reporting that negligent insiders now account for 10.3 million dollars in average costs and that more than nine out of ten respondents say generative artificial intelligence has changed how staff access and share information, even though only a small share have formally integrated artificial intelligence into business strategies.
