This piece is a strategic/opinion analysis arguing that ransomware success stems from defenders' reliance on static vulnerability lists rather than modeling the dynamic attack-path graph (identity, configuration, credential relationships) that adversaries actually traverse. It uses Interlock's ClickFix-based initial access (fake CAPTCHA tricking users into executing malicious commands via the Run dialog) as a case study of a CVE-free attack path invisible to traditional vulnerability management, and advocates for graph-based CTEM augmented with continuous threat intelligence and AI agents for real-time attack path recomputation.
