The 2026 Cyber Threat Trends Report

If it feels like attackers are moving faster than ever, it’s because they are.

The latest findings show a clear shift: attacks are no longer isolated events but coordinated efforts. One group gains access, another takes over, and within seconds a minor alert can escalate into a full-scale incident. At the same time, entry points are evolving—voice phishing is rising, exploits remain dominant, and attackers are increasingly using legitimate tools inside your environment to avoid detection.

This report offers a grounded look at how breaches actually unfold and where defenses are falling short, helping public sector teams focus their efforts where it will have the greatest impact.
