Get forward-looking insights to plan for the year ahead.

2026 will usher in a new era for cybersecurity. Threat actors will leverage AI to escalate the speed, scope, and effectiveness of their attacks. Simultaneously, defenders will harness AI agents to supercharge security operations and enhance analyst capabilities.

This transformation introduces new challenges, including "Shadow Agent" risks and the need for evolving identity and access management, all while geopolitical, and financial threats continue to accelerate.

Our Cybersecurity Forecast 2026 report provides expert insights into the trends that will shape the year ahead. 

Read the report to learn more about what we anticipate in 2026:

  • The AI Arms Race: How adversaries will use AI for faster attacks and how defenders will counter with an "Agentic SOC."

  • Modern Extortion: Why ransomware and data theft remain the top financial threat, using various tactics to bypass multi-factor authentication.

  • The Virtualization Frontline: How attackers are targeting virtualization infrastructure and why this critical layer is a growing blind spot.

  • Nation-State Strategies: The long-term objectives and cyber activities of actors from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.
