[FORECAST] Will Akira trigger a week-long hospital disruption by end of 2026? (Updated 2026-05-11)

We’re revising the Akira hospital disruption forecast down to 2%. The risk is real, but the question is narrower than it looks.

[FORECAST] Device-Bound Sessions Are Coming. Defaults Are the Hard Part.

“Secure by default” sounds great until it meets BYOD, VDI, federated SSO, and the help desk exception list from hell. Device-bound sessions help. Waiting for every SaaS vendor to flip the default is not a strategy.

[FORECAST ] Iran’s Cyber Window Is Still Open—But the Qualification Clock Is Now the Hardest Adversary (Updated 2026-05-05!)

Iran cyber isn’t quiet. The problem is the scoreboard. Every recycled leak and nuisance outage wants to become “critical infrastructure impact” before the evidence has its pants on.

[FORECAST] Iran’s Cyber Window Stays Open—But the Novelty Bar Is Tougher Now (Updated: 2026-04-23)

The industry loves a neat PLC story because it keeps the threat in a box you can point at. The less fun version is when the same campaign walks through identity or an admin plane your org still treats like plumbing.

[FORECAST] Beyond PLCs: Are Iran-Linked Operators More Likely to Chase New Targets, New Tooling, or New Impact? UPDATED 2026-04-08!

[FORECASTS] From Password Sprays to Tenant Sabotage: The 8-Week Iran Cyber Risk for U.S. and Israeli Orgs - UPDATED: 2026-03-26

Iran cyber risk is not about whether they’ll be active. They will. The real question is whether the next 8 weeks produce a publicly attributed, materially disruptive hit with a new twist beyond the usual password-spray sludge. Tenant sabotage is the part to watch. 👀🔥

[FORECAST] Will RedNovember be publicly reported to exploit at least one zero-day vulnerability in 2026? Updated 2026-03-24

RedNovember is the kind of crew that turns “it was only an N-day” into a post-incident coping mechanism. We’re at 25% odds they get publicly tied to a true 0-day in 2026. With edge exploitation surging, that’s not exactly comforting. 👀🔥
