- Data-driven webinar outlines which 2026 Cybersecurity predictions reflect real risk versus speculation.
- Ransomware is shifting toward targeted disruptions that maximize operational and business impact.
- Uncontrolled adoption of AI inside organizations is increasing internal security risk and eroding perimeter assumptions.
- Experts remain skeptical that fully AI-orchestrated, adaptive attacks are a widespread near-term threat.
On Jan 09, 2026, a webinar hosted by Bitdefender presented a research-based view of cybersecurity priorities for 2026 and aimed to separate evidence-backed threats from speculation. The online session focused on where organizations are already failing and why those failures matter for the year ahead.
The webinar examined three converging trends reshaping attacks today. First, ransomware is moving beyond opportunistic incidents to become targeted disruptions that seek to maximize operational and business impact. Second, rapid and often uncontrolled adoption of Artificial Intelligence within organizations is creating an internal security crisis that expands risk from inside the perimeter. Third, presenters addressed media concerns about attackers using AI to orchestrate adaptive attacks and explained why near-term capability should be viewed with skepticism.
Speakers used research and real-world data to clarify which predictions should influence security strategy and which can be deprioritized. The session outlined how evidence-based forecasts can justify security investment, guide defensive updates before new techniques spread, and translate technical threat research into business-relevant priorities.
