ZeroFox-2026-Key-Forecasts-Report-2025-Conclusions.pdf

ZeroFox’s 2026 Intelligence Forecast outlines expected cyber threat trends for the coming year: expanded abuse of generative AI to scale social engineering and BEC, continued geopolitical-cyber convergence driving opportunistic and state-aligned activity, persistent centrality and professionalization of deep and dark web marketplaces, elevated ransomware and extortion activity (with North America heavily targeted), and increasingly sophisticated initial access broker operations; the report concludes with practical recommendations including zero-trust, patching, backups, MFA, and threat intelligence monitoring.
