Risk Awareness Now: Year in Review - Attacks, Breaches, and Data Leaks (Global Edition) - Opening

Описание: This opening session for Risk Awareness Now: Year in Review — Attacks, Breaches & Data Leaks (Global Edition) brings together a global panel of Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors to unpack what really happened in cyber in 2025 and how to prepare for 2026. Speakers from North America, Europe, and India review the year’s most consequential attacks, breaches, and data leaks across cloud, SaaS, and supply chain environments, with a focus on AI‑enabled phishing, deepfake voice and video, social engineering, and identity compromise.

The conversation weaves in real‑world stories from cloud and identity projects, including IAM design, MFA bypass, OAuth abuse, misconfigured APIs, exposed secrets, and how “small” developer mistakes turned into major security incidents. The panel explores why identity is now the perimeter, how AI has shifted from novelty to default attack capability, and why cybersecurity awareness matters for programmers, data scientists, AI and geospatial professionals, and technology and business leaders alike.

This session frames the rest of the series: later talks dive deeper into AI‑driven attacks, identity and access abuse, human‑layer failures, and defensive practices that actually worked, building toward a practical 90‑day action frame for 2026 you can adapt to your own environment.
