Flashpoint Posts The Top 5 Predictions For The 2026 Threat Landscape

Today, Flashpoint has published a new forward-looking post titled “Flashpoint’s Top 5 Predictions for the 2026 Threat Landscape.” It outlines where cyber and physical risk are heading as AI advances, identity becomes a primary attack surface, and supply-chain threats evolve.

Key Takeaways:

  • AI-driven threats escalate: Attackers begin leveraging more autonomous and integrated AI systems, not just model-based exploits.
  • Identity becomes the new battleground: Infostealers to fuel most intrusions by capturing credentials, tokens, and cloud access.
  • Vulnerability intelligence shifts: Instability in public vulnerability databases pushes organizations toward redundant, intelligence-driven tracking.
  • Cyber-physical targeting grows: Threat actors increasingly target executives and individuals as digital and physical risks fully converge.
  • Supply-chain risk intensifies: Identity-based compromise and third-party access become prime vectors for extortion and infiltration.
