2026 Predictions: Where Will Cyberattacks Strike Next?
The DRI International Future Vision Committee has released its 11th Annual Predictions Report, looking ahead to 2026 and its impact on the resilience community. Download the complete report free from the DRI Library, and read on for thoughts on how artificial intelligence is changing cyber crime.
Prediction 3: There will be an increasing number of cyber-attacks on private companies and government institutions as AI is further exploited by the cybercriminal community.
Cyber security has moved firmly into the boardroom, as executives see it as a strategic business risk. It has topped many risk registers for several years and has the potential to produce significant financial and operational harm. Cyber-attacks can damage operations, halt factory production, and disrupt ports and hospitals. There are also regulatory implications if customer records are breached; as of January 2025, GDPR fines exceeded $6.2 billion. Recent incidents such as Jaguar Land Rover also show damage to customer loyalty and investor confidence, while the resultant pause in production of vehicles was blamed as a major contributor to the contraction of the entire UK economy in September 2025. Information provided by the Head of the Cambridge Cyber Centre in the UK shows emerging technologies can facilitate the penetration and potency of attacks.
However, the Centre is also quick to point out that AI also has its uses in the war against cyber-crime: those companies that invest in AI as a cyber defense tool cut breach detection times significantly and around $1.9 million has been saved globally as a result of using AI tools.
Still, attackers can use AI to generate phishing attacks and create deepfakes that impersonate executives, customers, or government officials. It is estimated that, to date in 2025, only 16% of breaches involve AI, but this percentage is likely to increase. Analysis also shows weak security governance is often partly to blame for successful attacks. It is estimated that 97% of successful AI-related breaches involved inadequate access controls.
State actors increasingly weaponize cyber. North Korea, China, Russia, and Iran are the most active perpetrators, but they often use cyber mercenaries (private firms providing cyber offensive tools and services), and this blurs accountability.
