Cybersecurity Ventures says that if cybercrime were a nation in 2026, it would be the world’s third-largest economy, behind the U.S. and China. Bernard Marr, a world-renowned futurist, influencer, and thought leader in the fields of business and technology, in a Forbes article, reveals what he believes will be the biggest trends in driving this unprecedented global crime wave over the next 12 months.
Marr’s seven cybersecurity trends are: Agentic cyberattack and defense; Deepfake and synthetic cyberattacks; The evolving ransomware threat; Strengthening the weakest link; Quantum security; Regulatory and legislative overhaul; and Cyberwarfare on the global stage.
The cybersecurity landscape of 2026 represents a critical inflection point where emerging technologies amplify both criminal capabilities and defensive opportunities. The scale of the threat can sometimes seem overwhelming, but organizations that proactively invest in quantum-safe encryption, AI-powered defenses, and human training will be best positioned to survive and thrive.
The key takeaway is that the time to act is now, before the criminals gain an even greater advantage.
