Cyber threats are evolving at an unprecedented pace. Here are the top trends and threats we're tracking in 2026 — and how to protect your business.
1. AI‑Powered Phishing
Attackers are using generative AI to craft highly convincing phishing emails, voice clones, and deepfake videos. Detection requires advanced email filtering and user awareness training.
2. Ransomware as a Service (RaaS)
RaaS platforms are lowering the barrier to entry for cybercriminals. Even small businesses are targets. Maintain offline backups and practice incident response regularly.
3. Supply Chain Attacks
Attackers are targeting software vendors and service providers to compromise multiple organisations at once. Vet your vendors and monitor third‑party risk.
4. Cloud Misconfigurations
Misconfigured cloud storage and databases remain a top cause of data breaches. Implement Infrastructure‑as‑Code (IaC) and continuous security scanning.
The most effective defence is a proactive security posture — not a reactive one.
5. Identity Attacks
Credential theft and MFA fatigue attacks are on the rise. Enforce MFA, use conditional access, and monitor for anomalous login attempts.
