What will make 2026 different? From AI-powered social engineering and “vibe hacking” to insider-as-a-service schemes and the rise of Shadow AI as the next data-leak epidemic, organisations are entering a new threat landscape.

We broke down the most consequential cybersecurity predictions for 2026, including a potential large-scale AI incident, new safety mandates driven by critical infrastructure near misses, and the shift toward identity-first governance for humans, APIs, and AI agents alike.

We discussed how cyber resilience is becoming a key brand attribute and why data integrity, not just data protection, will be the new battleground. Learn what security leaders must prioritise now to build trust and withstand the next wave of attacks.
