Average time to lateral movement reached 29 minutes
Attackers exploited known vulnerabilities at an average speed of 29 minutes for lateral movement, with some autonomous agents performing 17,600 actions in days. While local AI tools like LiteLLM closed one supply chain seam, breaches involving third parties rose to 48%.
- Field
- computer security
- What they did
- Researchers analyzed cybersecurity breach data from 2026 and found that attackers did not invent new tricks, but instead increased attack speed by exploiting known vulnerabilities and third-party systems.
- Why it matters
- Understanding that attacks often target trusted developer tools (like LiteLLM) and supply chains helps organizations strengthen the security of their local AI infrastructure.
