The call comes in to a store manager two states from headquarters. It's the regional VP, same voice, same urgency, asking for a quick approval before end of day. Except it isn't the VP. It's a cloned voice, and the manager has no reason to think twice. This is where the modern attack on a distributed enterprise begins. Not at corporate, where the security team lives, but at a single location that looks nothing like a target. 63% of distributed enterprises had at least one location receive a deepfake or cloned-voice attack impersonating an executive last year. And it's accelerating on all fronts. 87% say AI-generated phishing and deepfake attacks have grown more frequent, more severe, or both in the past 12 months, the second fastest-rising threat behind only ransomware at individual locations (88%). 60% are concerned frontier-model attacks are next. Attackers are targeting individual locations. Most security programs are still built around headquarters.

92% of travel agencies experienced a cyberattack or threat in the past year. 66% had customer data compromised. We're talking credit card numbers, passport scans, dates of birth, home addresses, and full travel itineraries, all moving through booking systems, payment processors, and email inboxes every day at agencies usually defending themselves with a team of one. New research from SecureTrust, a VikingCloud company, finds that 44% of agency owners manage cybersecurity entirely on their own, and 26% say the person doing the job isn't trained for it. Meanwhile, 68% now rank cyberattacks as the single biggest threat to their business in 2026, ahead of inflation and recession. The most practical place to start closing the gap: securing the payment environment, where the most sensitive customer data lives.

Our new white paper breaks down the hidden costs of fragmented PCI compliance and what it takes to fix it.
