The next breach won’t start with malware. It will start with a message. It won’t come through a firewall. Instead it will come through a familiar app or a platform they’ve used a hundred times before, in meetings, in motion, under pressure. That’s what happened at the Treasury, at the Pentagon, and inside a Signal group chat where the U.S. Defense Secretary unknowingly briefed an unauthenticated participant on planned airstrikes.
This report is a wake-up call. Based on high-profile breaches and candid insights from senior military leaders, it reveals:
- Why secure messaging is breaking down at the edge.
- What FSIs and DoD programs keep missing about user behavior.
- Where the next compromise is most likely to hit and how to prevent it.
