"Global Cybersecurity Perspectives Report 2026"

What security leaders learned in 2025 and how it changes priorities for 2026. Based on real-world fieldwork, this report shows where attacks are shifting, why identity now defines the perimeter, and what high-performing security teams are doing to reduce risk, respond faster, and stay resilient under pressure.

Cybersecurity teams are entering 2026 under sustained pressure.

Attackers have refined their tactics. Identity misuse, cloud misconfiguration, and automation now sit at the centre of most serious incidents. Many breaches unfold quietly, persist longer, and create risk before teams realise what has happened.

The Global Cybersecurity Perspectives Report 2026 sets out Smarttech247’s predictions for the year ahead, based on hands-on experience supporting enterprise and regulated organisations across finance, healthcare, pharma, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure.

These predictions reflect patterns observed in real incidents, security operations performance, and the day to day challenges facing modern SOCs.

Inside the report, you will find Smarttech247’s view on:

• How identity has become the primary attack surface and what this means for detection and response
• Why cloud incidents increasingly avoid traditional alerting and extend dwell time
• Where AI is helping defenders and how attackers are using the same techniques
• How platform consolidation is changing security architecture decisions
• Why alert fatigue remains a risk factor despite larger tool investments
• How regulatory pressure is shaping security priorities and operating models

The report also outlines what high performing security teams are doing differently as they plan for 2026.

You will see how leading organisations are:

• Tightening trust boundaries across identity, cloud, and endpoints
• Reducing noise while maintaining visibility and control
• Improving response times by aligning people, process, and automation
• Measuring security success through outcomes that matter to the business
• Building resilience with the expectation that incidents will occur

This report is designed for CISOs, CIOs, and senior security leaders who need to set priorities, justify investment, and adapt operating models for the year ahead.

It provides a clear view of the shifts already underway and the decisions that will shape security operations in 2026.
