Inside our 2026 Trend Report

With the release of our 2026 Trend Report approaching, we’re bringing the conversation to CyberConnect for a focused, in-depth session on the forces shaping cybersecurity in the year ahead.

This session is designed as a deep dive into the themes and findings of the 2026 Trend Report, unpacking the thinking behind the trends we see emerging and what they mean for organisations operating in an increasingly complex and contested threat landscape.

Drawing on expert and academic perspectives alongside hands-on security experience, we’ll examine how attacker behaviour is evolving, how the attack surface continues to expand, and how technology, regulation, and geopolitics are reshaping risk. Most importantly, we’ll translate these trends into practical implications for security strategy and decision-making.

 

What you'll gain

A deeper understanding of the key themes explored in our 2026 Trend Report, including:

• Identity as the new attack vector: Why threat actors are moving away from traditional malware in favour of identity-based attacks
• Ransomware and technical debt: How ransomware groups are exploiting technical debt more quickly and at greater scale
• Weaponisation of the edge and supply chain: Why the median time to exploit vulnerabilities on edge devices is now effectively zero days from publication, and how third-party or supply-chain involvement in breaches has doubled over the past year
• Attribution challenges in a blurred threat landscape: How the lines between hacktivism, cybercrime, and state-nexus activity continue to blur, with state-aligned actors increasingly masquerading as hacktivists or common cybercriminals
  

Who it's for

• Security and IT professionals looking for actionable strategies to address emerging threats. 
• Executive leaders seeking a clear understanding of the threat landscape to inform risk management.
