Current Trends in Cybersecurity from Futurum Group Research
The Futurum Group, Tuesday, May 12th, 2026
Futurum Group identifies AI as the top cybersecurity trend for 2026 across three critical angles: Security for AI, AI for Security, and Security from AI.
Futurum Group Research, presented at Security Field Day on April 29, 2026, identified AI as the dominant cybersecurity trend affecting organizations globally. The research highlights three key focus areas for cybersecurity professionals: securing AI tool deployment, integrating AI into cyber team processes, and defending against adversary use of AI.
Remote work emerges as the second major concern, with AI and remote work ranked in the top three priorities across all organizations.
The presentation, led by Fernando Montenegro and Tom Hollingsworth, emphasizes that while individual security disciplines prioritize different aspects, all stakeholders share unified concern about AI and remote work implications.
