The 2026 Microsoft Digital Defence Report makes one point very clear: cyber risk is no longer confined to individual devices, systems or organisations. Full report & exec summary pdf links in the comments. Cyber risk now travels through interconnected identities, data, cloud platforms, software supply chains, partners and AI systems. My thoughts: 🌐 AI is accelerating both attack and defence. Its reducing the time, cost and expertise needed to discover vulnerabilities and execute attacks. At the same time, it gives defenders (us) new opportunities to correlate signals, prioritise risk and respond at machine speed. 🌐 Identity remains the primary control plane. Attackers continue to exploit valid accounts, excessive privileges and weak governance - hackers dont hack, they (still) login. Phishing-resistant MFA, passkeys, least privilege and tighter control of both human and non-human identities remains fundamental. 🌐 People are still a major route in. Phishing, impersonation, malicious copy-and-paste attacks and increasingly convincing voice-based social engineering continue to succeed. 🌐 Patching speed matters more than ever. AI-assisted discovery and exploit development are shrinking the window between vulnerability disclosure and active exploitation. Monthly patching cycles are no longer sufficient for internet-facing and identity systems. 🌐 AI itself is a new attack surface. Agents, prompts, memory, browser extensions, connected tools and AI-generated outputs all introduce new risks. AI governance must therefore include visibility, identity, data protection, monitoring and accountability. 🌐 Bring-your-own-AI and shadow AI is a huge cybersecurity risk to businesses, and it's rife. ❓ The question for business leaders is not simply whether an incident can be prevented, its whether the organisation can contain the damage, continue operating, recover quickly and maintain customer trust. Your pre- and post- breach preparedness matters. The fundamentals have not changed, but the speed, scale and interconnected nature of the threat have. At ctm Information Technology we have cybersecurity, AI, modern work & infrastructure Managed Service teams and, as the (probably) smallest tier-1 Microsoft Partner in the UK, we specialise in the Microsoft ecosystem.
