As organizations brace for new cybersecurity challenges, Google Cloud’s Cybersecurity Forecast 2026 warns of a major shift driven by artificial intelligence — used by both attackers and defenders.
The report, built on inputs from frontline Google security teams and dozens of analysts, predicts that 2026, will be shaped by rapid technological evolution and
increasingly sophisticated attack techniques.
A key finding of the report is the normalization
of AI for cyber attackers.Threat actors are moving from experimental AI use to fully
integrating it across attack lifecycles.
AI-powered cyberattacks will become faster, more agile, and harder to detect — helping attackers bypass defenses and scale operations like never before.
Of particular concern is the rise of prompt
injection vulnerabilities, where attackers
manipulate AI systems to execute hidden
commands, bypassing traditional security
guardrails.
Security teams must prepare for a
surge in targeted attacks on enterprise AI systems, exploiting these new vulnerabilities and weaknesses.
