Hornetsecurity by Proofpoint has launched a new playbook that MSPs with clear, actionable strategies to scale their organizations while helping SMBs navigate new and emerging challenges from AI adoption.

Attackers aren’t standing still either. They are already using artificial intelligence to polish phishing emails, translate lures into multiple languages, and automate recon and exploitation, which raises the bar for everyone in defense. As MSPs, we’re protecting more identities, more email traffic, more collaboration channels—and we’re doing it under pressure from alert fatigue and ticket queues that never quite empty.

Email is like plumbing – when it’s working you never give it a second thought, but when it’s not, you notice very quickly. The NIS2 regulation raises the bar for cyber resilience and business continuity and as we’ve shown here and here – having your data safely backed up is not the same as operational continuity.

This edition of the Monthly Threat Report focuses on industry events from the month of April 2026. As a news and commentary edition, this month’s report prioritizes depth on emerging threats and industry research over statistical data sections.
