The first weeks of 2026 are making one thing clear: cyber risk is no longer episodic; it is structural.
Crisis24 released its Global Risk Forecast 2026 report, detailing how long-term cyber pre-positioning, AI-driven threats, and rising geopolitical flashpoints are reshaping global security risk this year.
This year’s forecast finds that 2026 will be defined by two key dynamics:
- A polarized, transactional world will fuel geopolitical volatility
- How technology will act as a risk accelerant, and a competitive edge.
Early 2026 findings reveal:
- States are quietly embedding cyber access in critical infrastructure long before crises erupt.
- Geopolitical flashpoints raise the risk of overt disruption to logistics and daily life.
- AI and digital twins are rapidly escalating both attack sophistication and defense complexity.
