Vishing, or voice-based social engineering, in which attackers use phone calls to trick people into revealing information or granting access to networks, is seeing an alarming growth in cases. In general terms, criminals will pose as a trusted colleague or external contact and use convincing pretexts to pressure individuals to share sensitive details or take actions they believe are routine.

Artificial intelligence is no longer an emerging force in cybersecurity; it is the defining one. In 2026, organisations will face AI-driven attacks that move faster, scale wider and exploit vulnerabilities in hours rather than weeks. At the same time, defenders are increasingly turning to AI to regain the advantage.
As the world stumbles head on into deglobalization we predict national sovereign clouds will replace international access to data. That is good news for in-country corporations and for security companies in specific fields. It may not be so good for large multinational tech firms and people living in authoritarian countries. It may also mean the end of the World Wide Web.
Sovereign clouds used to be referred as proprietary clouds to keep intellectual property (IP) secure. National sovereign clouds today are used to control access to citizens private data. For big tech, multiple governments require organizations to comply with data protection laws requiring specific data residency and management practices. National sovereign clouds facilitate that within the country but create significant complexity for multinational operations. Even within a specific politico-economic bloc like the EU, there are different regulations within the bloc for data security.
In a recent blog post, Cory Doctorow summed up the current business climate caused by geopolitical shifts, "There's finally political space to stop worrying about tariffs and reconsider anti-circumvention laws, to create disenshittification nations that stage raids on the most valuable lines of business of the most profitable companies in world history – Big Tech."

For years, cyber resilience has been treated as a collection of loosely connected disciplines: security teams focused on prevention, identity teams guarded access, and backup teams planned for recovery. In 2026, that fragmented approach will no longer be viable.
chnology trends in 2026 are not confined to infrastructure and AI. They are reshaping how people work, how businesses operate, and how trust is negotiated between employers and employees.
For most of the past decade, progress in artificial intelligence has been defined by scale.…… Membership Required You must bemore...
In 2026, cybersecurity leaders are no longer debating whether artificial intelligence, cloud scale, and automation will reshape defense. That argument is settled. What remains unresolved—and increasingly urgent—is whether the industry has introduced more risk than resilience in the process.
I believe that the cybersecurity landscape will face a defining year in 2026.…… Membership Required You must be a membermore...
