Cyber Threat Landscape Report 2026

Frontline intelligence on the cyber risks shaping ASEAN, Australasia, and East Asia.

The cyber threat landscape facing organisations today is no longer evolving gradually. It is advancing faster than many security strategies can keep pace with, exposing customer data, digital services, and critical business operations to increasingly sophisticated attacks.

Ensign InfoSecurity's Cyber Threat Landscape Report 2026 draws on frontline intelligence and region-specific analysis across ASEAN, Australasia, and East Asia, providing a clear view of the tactics, techniques, and trends shaping today's threat landscape—and what organisations can do to stay ahead.

What’s Covered:

• Ransomware Outpacing Next-Generation Defences: Attackers are engineering techniques specifically designed to evade modern detection and response capabilities, increasing the risk of operational disruption and data compromise.
• Hacktivism as a Strategic Threat: Hacktivist groups are adopting capabilities once associated primarily with nation-state actors, making politically and ideologically motivated attacks more sophisticated and disruptive.
• Frontier AI Weaponised at Scale: Threat actors are leveraging advanced AI models to accelerate reconnaissance, automate malicious activities, and craft increasingly convincing social engineering campaigns.
• The Year Ahead: Key emerging risks, regulatory developments, and practical recommendations to strengthen cyber resilience and reduce organisational exposure.

Whether you're responsible for protecting customer data, ensuring operational resilience, or strengthening cyber strategy, this report provides practical intelligence to help you prioritise what matters most in the year ahead.
