Cybersecurity Report 2026

Hornetsecurity’s annual Cybersecurity Report revealed that threat actors embraced automation, artificial intelligence, and social engineering at unprecedented speed, while defenders raced to adapt governance, resilience, and awareness programmes to match.

Hornetsecurity announced major enhancements to its Teams Protection solution, powered by its AI Cyber Assistant, with the rollout of new functionality to address the increasing prevalence of Microsoft Teams as an attack vector and help protect end users against the growing incidence of attacks via compromised accounts.

New research from leading cybersecurity provider Hornetsecurity has found that a quarter (24%) of businesses reported being victims of a ransomware attack in 2025, a sharp increase from 18.6% in 2024. The results from Hornetsecurity’s annual Ransomware Impact Report mark the end of a multi-year decline in attacks.
