2026 Security Predictions

Duration:59 minutes

As cyber threats evolve at an unprecedented speed, 2026 promises to be a transformative year for cybersecurity. Traditional threats are giving way to more sophisticated strategies, driven by AI, regulatory pressures, and the need for zero trust.

In this webinar, CSO Corey Nachreiner, Director of Security Operations Marc Laliberte, and Field CTO for Managed Services Adam Winston discuss their six game-changing predictions for this upcoming year, including:

  • Crypto-Ransomware Goes Extinct: Attackers will abandon encryption-based ransomware in favor of data theft and extortion tactics.
  • AI-Powered Defense for Open Source: Open-source package repositories will deploy automated, AI-driven systems to combat supply chain attacks.
  • CRA Reporting Requirements Incentivize Secure by Design Principals: EU CRA reporting requirements will incentivize building security into products from the start.
  • First Autonomous, Agentic AI Breach: 2026 will see the first end-to-end cyberattack executed entirely by autonomous AI tools.
  • Rise of Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA): Legacy VPNs will decline as SMBs adopt ZTNA to mitigate remote access vulnerabilities.
  • AI Expertise Becomes a Required Skill for Cybersecurity: Cybersecurity professionals must master AI to defend against adaptive, automated threats.

XDR vs. SIEM: Defeating Cyber Chaos

Duration:52 minutes

Cybersecurity decision-makers face a growing challenge: defending against a rising tide of threats without drowning in operational complexity. Designed for large security teams, SIEM platforms often introduce more chaos than clarity, burdening small teams with high costs, complex deployments, and overwhelming data.

In this webinar, Stephen Helm and Ricardo Arroyo discuss the core differences between SIEM and XDR (Extended Detection and Response) and explain why XDR is emerging as the smart, scalable choice for modern MSPs and lean IT security teams.

Key Insights:

  • Why SIEMs, built for large enterprises, often over-deliver on features, and under-deliver on agility
  • When a SIEM is appropriate: strict compliance, long-term log retention, or deep forensic use cases
  • The business case for XDR: faster value, lower total cost of ownership, and reduced complexity
  • How XDR empowers MSPs to deliver stronger protection without needing SIEM-level overhead
  • How leading MSPs are using XDR to simplify operations, improve client outcomes, and grow margins

2025 Security Predictions

Duration:57 minutes

Defending your business, data, and employees from cyberattacks in 2025 will become increasingly difficult. Not only are bad actors doing their best to crack your defenses, but their AI assistants will make it easier for them to launch highly targeted and advanced attacks. 

During this webinar, the leaders of WatchGuard’s Threat Lab, CSO Corey Nachreiner and Director of Security Operations Marc Laliberte, review the new attacks they expect to see in the coming year, including:

  • As multimodal AI systems gain the ability to integrate text, images, voice, and sophisticated coding, threat actors will leverage them to streamline and automate the entire pipeline of a cyber attack.
  • Attackers will intensify their attempts to target little-known but widely used third-party open-source libraries and dependencies to avoid detection and execute malicious attacks.
  • As threat actors will look to increasingly leverage AI to both find and build vulnerabilities, cybersecurity professionals will also take advantage of AI’s capabilities to uncover and stymie their attempts.
  • GenAI will open up new attack vectors for bad actors to profit when they combine it with other sophisticated tactics to earn the trust of organizations to perform what they believe is a legitimate business transaction.
