Wind and solar management systems — platforms controlling renewable energy distribution
Potential impact: 500,000 people could have lost power if the attack succeeded

4/4

As we roll into 2026, the cybersecurity industry is unified on one thing: AI will dominate both attacks and defenses.

Agentic AI attacks — autonomous AI agents will execute multi-stage operations without human input, turning compromised agents into independent attack vectors
Ransomware evolution — AI-driven operations will scan, exploit, and extort with minimal human involvement, focusing on data exploitation over encryption
The death of VPNs — traditional VPNs will collapse as identity-based security and zero-trust network access become the primary defense
Post-quantum urgency — organizations must accelerate the shift to post-quantum cryptography to defend against "harvest now, decrypt later" strategies
AI as insider threat — autonomous AI agents with privileged access will become the new "insiders," requiring AI firewalls to prevent them from becoming vulnerabilities
