This guide outlines 10 best practices that simplify operations, reduce risk, and strengthen your recovery ability across multicloud environments

Insights from The 2026 Customer Service Transformation Report

AI adoption in customer service is no longer the differentiator, but how deeply it’s integrated is.

In this webinar, we unpack insights from The 2026 Customer Service Transformation Report and explore how leading organizations are moving beyond surface-level adoption to drive real operational impact.

Learn how top teams are

  • Scaling AI
  • Redefining success metrics
  • Extending support beyond the inbox to create lasting competitive advantage.

La guía del SOC agéntico: Un recorrido en cuatro pasos hacia las operaciones de seguridad impulsadas por IA

Tu plan para la transformación del SOC agéntico

La IA está redefiniendo cómo opera el SOC. El futuro pertenece a los equipos que pueden moverse a la velocidad de las máquinas, guiados por el mando humano.

La guía del SOC agéntico muestra cómo la IA y la experiencia humana trabajan juntas para cerrar las brechas de habilidades, velocidad y respuesta, a la vez que se construye un SOC moderno y adaptable.

En la guía, aprenderás a cómo hacer lo siguiente:

• Crear una base lista para la IA

• Identificar dónde la IA puede ofrecer resultados rápidos

• Escalar la experiencia con agentes personalizados y orquestados

• Opera una defensa segura, con control humano.

Scaling AI Customer Service in 2026

AI customer service is rapidly moving from experimentation to a core part of daily operations.

In this webinar, learn how leading teams are scaling AI within existing workflows to improve efficiency, handle complex support scenarios, and deliver better customer experiences. We’ll break down the metrics that matter, common challenges with automation, and how mature teams design AI systems that extend human impact rather than replace it.

Lessons from the Front Lines

A Playbook for Outpacing Modern Adversaries

Security outcomes rarely hinge on a single alert or control failure. Modern adversaries chain trusted identities, misconfigurations, third-party access, and unmonitored control planes into intrusions that spread across domains and lead to costly downtime and disruption.

The Lessons from the Front Lines guide is designed for this reality. Aligned to the top six adversary themes noted in the CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report — AI use and targeting, cross-domain tradecraft, edge device exploitation, supply chain compromise, objective-driven zero-day selection, and cloud trust abuse — this guide provides organizations a practical playbook for prevention and readiness.

Key takeaways:

● Frontline Intelligence: Direct insights from CrowdStrike’s incident responders on how these modern intrusions unfold

● Prevention Strategies: Playbooks to defend against the top adversary tactics shaping today’s threat landscape

● Response Guidance: Battle-tested frameworks to contain and evict threats when prevention falls short

CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report

In the age of AI, even less sophisticated threat actors can execute complex attacks — while advanced adversaries have become dramatically more dangerous. The CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report exposes the latest tradecraft of today’s evasive adversary, revealing how AI is supercharging cyberattacks and redefining risk.

Key findings include:

● 89% increase in attacks by AI-enabled adversaries in 2025

● The average eCrime breakout time dropped to just 29 minutes

● A 65% increase in breakout speed compared to 2024

● AI-driven attacks that move fluidly across domains and evade detection more effectively than ever


As adversaries weaponize AI to accelerate operations and bypass traditional defenses, security teams face a shrinking window to detect and respond.

Five Steps for Frontier AI Security Readiness

Mythos is just the beginning for frontier AI. Is your team prepared?

Frontier AI models like Anthropic’s Claude Mythos signal a new reality for defenders. AI can now identify vulnerabilities in near real time, shrinking the exploitation window to minutes. At the same time, rapidly expanding attack surfaces are increasing exposure faster than most teams can manage.

This white paper outlines a practical five-step framework for frontier AI readiness, helping security teams:

● Prioritize risk based on exploitability, not volume

● Continuously validate exposure inside and outside your environment

● Enforce continuous identity controls to block exploitation

● Detect and respond at machine speed

● Apply AI deliberately and securely to scale operations
