Foreword Paolo Dal CinGlobal CybersecurityLead, Accenture Jeremy JurgensManaging Director,World Economic Forum Now in its fifth year, theGlobal Cybersecurity Outlookhas become an authoritative reference, empoweringleaders with the insights they need to navigate cyberchallenges, as well as an important instrument withwhich to redefine business strategy, enterpriseinvestments and government initiatives and seize theopportunities of today’s cybersecurity landscape. In an era defined by accelerating technologicalchange, persistent geopolitical volatility andwidening capability gaps, the cyber landscape hasbecome both a catalyst for progress and a vectorof profound risk. Cybersecurity risk in 2026 is accelerating,fuelled by advances in AI, deepening geopoliticalfragmentation and the complexity of supplychains. These shifts are compounded by theenduring sovereignty dilemma and widespreadcyber inequity, two factors that expose systemicvulnerabilities. The result is a threat environmentwhere the speed and scale of attacks are testingthe limits of traditional defences. By examining leaders’ perspectives and highlightingthe priorities that drive success, this reportdelivers a clear message: cybersecurity is notpredetermined. Its future depends on the choiceswe make today. By investing in foresight, capabilityand innovation, and by strengthening collaborationacross industries, sectors and national boundaries,we can transform volatility into momentum andbuild a safer, more resilient digital future together. Executive summary Cybersecurity is a frontier where collaborationremains not only possible, but powerful. Cybersecurity in 2026 is accelerating amidgrowing threats, geopolitical fragmentation and awidening technological divide. Artificial intelligence(AI) is transforming cyber on both sides of thefight – strengthening defence while enabling moresophisticated attacks. Organizations are striving tobalance innovation with security – embracing AI andautomation at scale, even as governance frameworksand human expertise struggle to keep pace. Theresult is a fast-paced, metamorphic landscape wheredisruptions move swiftly across borders, even astechnology offers new potential for resilience. concerns are reshaping cooperation and trustamong nations. Hybrid threats and escalatingcyberattacks reflect the increasing volatility of theglobal environment. From an economic perspective,unequal access to resources and expertisecontinues to widen cyber inequity. Ultimately, strengthening collective cyberresilience has become both an economic anda societal imperative. Cybersecurity is a frontierwhere collaboration remains not only possible,but powerful – a reminder that, even amidfragmentation, economic strain and uncertainty,collective action can drive progress for all. This year’s report examines the intersection of AIadoption and cyber readiness, and the emergingdisparities that innovation creates. On thegeopolitical front, fragmentation and sovereignty These are three key trends that executives willneed to navigate in cybersecurity in 2026: 1.AI is supercharging the cyber arms race AI is anticipated to be the most significant driverof change in cybersecurity in the year ahead,according to94%of survey respondents(see Appendix: Methodology for more informationabout the survey). This growing recognition is translating into concreteaction across organizations. The percentage ofrespondents assessing the security of AI tools hasnearly doubled from the previous year, from37%in 2025 to64%in 2026. Does your organization have a process in place toassess the security of AI tools before deploying them? 2.Geopolitics is a defining feature of cybersecurity In 2026, geopolitics remains the top factor influencing overall cyber risk mitigationstrategies. Some64%of organizations are accounting for geopolitically motivatedcyberattacks – such as disruption of critical infrastructure or espionage. R
