With 834 unique ransomware families identified over two years, the real risk has shifted from operational disruption to data privacy compliance failures. The post argues organizations should model their environments as interconnected graphs where threat intelligence supplies edge weights and AI agents continuously recompute attack paths. Using Interlock ransomware's ClickFix social engineering technique as an example, it illustrates how CVE-free, identity-based attack paths are invisible to conventional vulnerability management. Effective Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) requires real-time graph updates, timely intelligence, and agentic validation of attack paths — not quarterly content snapshots. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
