Why this report is essential

In a landscape where the window to intervene has collapsed from hours to seconds, security leaders can no longer rely on reactive strategies. M-Trends 2026 provides the frontline intelligence needed to address both emerging AI-driven threats and the persistent systemic failures that still account for the vast majority of breaches. Move beyond passive defense with actionable guidance on securing unmonitored Tier-0 assets, virtualization stacks, and SaaS integrations.

How the timeline for accelerated ransomware handoffs between cybercriminal partners has collapsed to just seconds.
How attackers are abusing AI within compromised environments.
Why modern extortion campaigns have shifted away from simple encryption toward aggressive “Recovery Denial” tactics.
Why multi-year espionage intrusions are forcing organizations to drastically rethink their forensics and telemetry retention strategies.
How threat actors target the virtualization stack to bypass guest-level defenses and embed deep persistence.
The systematic methods attackers use to exploit edge devices and network appliances before patches are even released.
The mechanics of SaaS integration abuse, which adversaries are leveraging for massive data theft and cross-cloud lateral movement.

As threat actors refine their techniques, Mandiant continues to offer the critical, actionable insights needed to move beyond passive defense to active resilience.
