Key Findings from the 2026 Thales Data Threat Report - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

The 2026 Thales Data Threat Report examines the complex calculus that organizations must undertake to enable innovation while securing their most valuable asset — their data. The proliferation of AI and agentic operations is compounding stress on data management and security, as reflected in a 50% year-over-year increase in the proportion of respondents allocating new security budgets specifically for AI. Organizations are struggling with data quality and security as they work to safely deliver access to the raw material from which AI value is built. As agentic applications gain access to greater volumes of data, organizations must improve data security and management practices to ensure that AI does not become a new insider threat. Organizations face pressure to accelerate operations, but these efforts are challenged by complexity in security operations exacerbated by sprawling security toolsets and increasingly complex hybrid and multi-cloud IT infrastructure. AI is forcing the integration of new elements, such as chat interfaces and Model Context Protocol servers, that security teams are wrestling to secure. The threat landscape is also shifting as attackers employ AI and quantum computing risks loom ever larger. Further complicating matters, the AI ecosystem is constantly shifting under security teams’ feet. This webinar shares these and many more key findings from the 2026 Thales Data Threat Report which is based on a survey of more than 3,100 IT and security professional from 20 countries.
