The Cyber Threat Landscape in 2026

Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, and many businesses are still underestimating just how sophisticated modern attacks have become.

In this session, Sasha Roshan from Huntress will explore where cyber threats are really heading in 2026, helping you understand what to look out for and why it matters to your organisation.

You’ll gain real-world insight into how attackers operate today, including how access can be gained to Microsoft 365 environments even when Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is enabled, and what this means for your current security approach.

We’ll also explore the dark side of AI, looking beyond the benefits to uncover how cyber criminals are using AI to scale attacks, move faster, and increase their chances of success.

This isn’t content for the sake of content, it’s about raising awareness. If you leave with even one insight that helps you make better security decisions, it’s worthwhile.

At Optimising IT, we believe sharing knowledge openly is key to stronger cyber security. As an approved Cyber Essentials Certification Body, supporting businesses to improve their security posture is at the heart of what we do, alongside partners like Huntress, who are driving cyber education forward.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of:

• What’s changing in the cyber threat landscape
• How modern attacks are carried out, and where organisations are most exposed
• How AI is being used by attackers to enhance their tactics
• What to look out for to better protect your organisation

This session is designed to give you practical, real-world insight — helping you stay informed, secure, and one step ahead.
