Description
Today's briefing examines the logistical and technical implications of Microsoft's July 2026 Patch Tuesday, a record-breaking release of 622 fixes driven by AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery. Aaron Cole and Lauren Mitchell break down the critical zero-days in AD FS and SharePoint, the discovery of OAuth client ID spoofing in Entra ID by Proofpoint, and the architectural shifts required to defend against social engineering ecosystems like ClickFix.
