Ransomware continues to evolve as one of the most significant cybersecurity threats facing organisations. As we move through 2026, attackers are deploying increasingly sophisticated tactics including double and triple extortion, supply chain attacks, and targeting of critical infrastructure.
Organisations must adopt a multi-layered defence strategy that includes robust backup and recovery capabilities, endpoint detection and response, network segmentation, and employee security awareness training. Regular testing of recovery procedures is essential to ensure you can restore operations without paying ransoms.
The shift to ransomware-as-a-service has lowered the barrier to entry for attackers, increasing the volume of attacks across all sectors. Organisations should assume they will be targeted and prepare accordingly with incident response plans and cyber insurance coverage.
