Six for 2026: The cyber threats you can’t ignore

This sponsored 2026 threat outlook predicts increased AI-driven attacks, including agentic AI exploitation, deepfake-enabled phishing, and accelerated ransomware, alongside faster vulnerability discovery, risks from static scanning gaps, and multicloud blind spots that evade EDR/CNAPP. It recommends strengthening defenses with network detection and response (NDR), ZTNA, identity verification, continuous vulnerability scanning, and AI-assisted incident response to improve visibility, reduce dwell time, and coordinate response across hybrid and multicloud environments.
