As organizations move deeper into cloud ecosystems, automation, AI integrations, and global supply chains, one truth becomes increasingly clear: In 2026, third-party risk is not just an IT concern. It is a business continuity concern, a regulatory concern, and in many industries, a board-level concern. From software vendors and cloud providers to managed services, payment processors, contractors, and niche business tools, every external connection introduces potential exposure.

Cybersecurity in 2026 will be shaped by one overarching reality: complexity is outpacing traditional security models. As digital environments grow more distributed and attackers become faster and more automated, organizations will be forced to rethink how they understand and manage risk. Here are the key cybersecurity predictions for 2026—and why preparation matters.

Many organizations use Microsoft Entra ID to manage identities and access across hybrid and cloud-only infrastructures. Entra is a powerful identity provider (IdP) solution that has extensive, configurable features, including for managing multifactor authentication (MFA). The breadth of features can also be a challenge, as many organizations struggle to know how to implement MFA in a way that works best for their organization. This article will explain an approach for how to implement MFA using Entra ID.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore OS Updates Even for “Small” Bugs In cybersecurity, people often focus on the big, headline-grabbing incidents: ransomware outbreaks, nation-state intrusions, or massive supply chain compromises. But the reality is far simpler: Most breaches begin with something small: a patch that wasn’t applied, a “low-priority” update that got postponed, or a seemingly harmless system bug that attackers quietly weaponized.

Scams are getting slick, but your best defense is still fast, calm thinking. In one minute, you can scan any email, text, or DM and decide if it’s safe. Use the checklist below, then save the quick steps for what to do if you already clicked.

When it comes to cybersecurity, even “routine” actions like applying patches can introduce risk. An update meant to fix one vulnerability can sometimes open the door to another, disrupt operations, or create compliance headaches.

Contingency planning is the process of determining how to respond to disruptive events. Most organizations are so dependent on IT resources, and most IT resources are so complex, interdependent, and attack prone, that contingency planning is essential to enable organizations to mitigate the likelihood, impact, and duration of disruptions to IT systems.

K-12 cybersecurity for school districts is more critical than ever in 2025. With limited resources, increased reliance on digital tools, and the sensitive nature of student data, school districts have become prime targets for cybercriminals. As threats evolve and regulations tighten, it’s essential for school administrators and IT teams to understand the cybersecurity landscape, identify key risks, and take action.

When most people think of cybersecurity threats, they picture outside attackers trying to breach the network. But often, the biggest risks are already inside. Whether it’s human error, shadow IT, or poor policy enforcement, internal vulnerabilities can be just as damaging. In this blog, we’ll explore five commonly overlooked cybersecurity risks within organizations and how you can proactively address them.
