Cybersecurity outlook for 2026

The World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026 highlights three major forces reshaping the threat landscape: AI‑driven attacks, geopolitical volatility, and rising cyber‑enabled fraud. These trends closely align with the risks we at Celfocus must anticipate.
As AI accelerates both defensive capabilities and the sophistication of attacks, we must continue strengthening our AI‑security assessments and ensure our governance frameworks evolve at the same pace as adoption. The report’s emphasis on geopolitically motivated cyberattacks reinforces the need for resilient infrastructure, robust business continuity measures, and clear incident‑response processes, particularly as global tensions increasingly spill into the digital domain.
Finally, with cyber‑enabled fraud now affecting most individuals and emerging as a top concern for executives, we must remain vigilant in personnel awareness, identity protection, and supply‑chain security. These are areas where the Forum notes increasing vulnerabilities — and where our own internal controls must continue to mature.
Leak: A data leak occurs when sensitive information is unintentionally or intentionally exposed to unauthorized individuals. While most cases result from human error, they can also be caused by misconfigured systems or weak access controls.
In Celfocus’ context, this type of exposure can reveal confidential business data, employee information, or strategic plans, potentially leading to financial loss, reputational damage, and operational disruption. Strengthening data‑handling practices and maintaining vigilance across the organisation are essential to reducing the likelihood of these incidents and protecting both personal and corporate information.
Check out this quick video about insider threats and how even someone with good intentions may accidentally share critical information outside Celfocus such as AI chatbots, external providers or marketing services.
We have a dedicated Security team that works diligently to ensure the protection of our systems, data, and the overall cybersecurity posture of the organisation.
