2026 Threat Report: What SMBs need to know - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Cybercrime continues to evolve into a faster, more scalable, and increasingly service-driven ecosystem. In 2025, this shift became unmistakable as malware activity rebounded after years of decline and attackers leaned heavily on automation, commoditized tooling, and AI-assisted techniques to increase reach and efficiency. Organizations remain persistent targets as attackers focus on repeatable methods that favor volume, speed, and adaptability over novelty. Phishing activity surged dramatically, increasing by 206% year over year. Attackers are increasingly abusing legitimate cloud services, trusted platforms, and living-off-the-land techniques to make malicious messages appear authentic and harder to detect. Automation and AI-assisted tooling have lowered the cost of personalization, allowing phishing campaigns to closely resemble targeted spearphishing at scale. Ransomware and data extortion also remain dominant threats, even as global law enforcement actions disrupted major parts of the ransomware supply chain. While takedowns and arrests fractured large operations, affiliates and services adapted quickly, resulting in a more fragmented and volatile threat landscape rather than a meaningful decline in activity. Join Tyler Moffitt, Sr. Security Analyst at OpenText, for an in-depth walkthrough of the 2026 OpenText Cybersecurity Threat Report including insights on: • Why malware activity is rising again and what’s driving repeat infections • How phishing has evolved into a high-volume, highly personalized attack vector • What recent ransomware disruptions reveal about attacker adaptation • Practical steps organizations can take to improve resilience in 2026
