Dark Reading Survey Highlights Key Cybersecurity Trends for 2026

In 2026, Dark Reading surveyed its readers on four potential cybersecurity trends: attacks via agentic AI (autonomous AI), advanced threats from deepfakes, recognition by corporate boards of cybersecurity as a strategic priority, and the adoption of password-less technologies. The survey aimed to identify which of these developments would become the most significant by 2026, without specifying concrete results or technical impacts.
