2026 Trend Report

Get a frontline view of the 2026 threat landscape. Our second annual Trend Report draws on 54,000+ security investigations and insights from leading experts to pinpoint the biggest threats facing Dutch organisations - and the steps you can take to defend against them.

 

What you’ll find inside:

  • Financially motivated attacks dominate: Ransomware and BEC accounted for 71% of our Incident Response engagements in 2025.
  • The attacker playbook is shifting: Identity-centric tactics, technical debt exploitation, and generative AI are accelerating and scaling operations.
  • Blurred lines complicate attribution: State actors, cybercriminals, and hacktivists increasingly share tools, impersonate one another, and mix motives.
  • Digital sovereignty pulls focus: Experts call for pragmatic approaches, focusing on control points rather than absolute independence.
  • The market is part of the problem: Product-centricity, passive MDR, and misaligned SIEM economics quietly undercut genuine resilience.
