The Netskope Cloud and Threat Report (2026) details escalating enterprise risk driven by explosive genAI adoption—tripled user counts and sixfold prompt growth—resulting in a twofold increase in detected genAI data policy violations and widespread shadow AI use; it also documents legacy threats persisting into 2026, including credential-stealing phishing (87 clicks/10k users), malware delivered via trusted cloud services and package registries (GitHub, OneDrive, Google Drive, npm), emerging agentic-AI attack surface concerns, and supply-chain compromise incidents, and it urges organizations to apply DLP, block risky apps, inspect web/cloud downloads, and implement agent-aware, least-privilege controls.
