Practical steps organizations can take to improve resilience in 2026

Watch Now

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. As attackers focus on repeatable methods that favor volume, speed, and adaptability over novelty, MSPs face increasing pressure to secure multiple client environments against persistent threats.

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 spear phishing at scale while making it harder for MSPs to protect end users with traditional awareness training and email filtering alone.

Ransomware and data extortion also remain dominant threats as attackers continue targeting both supply chains and vulnerable SMB and midmarket environments. 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.
