Cyber Security Insight Report | January 2026

The January 2026 Cyber Security Insight explores how the sector is accelerating toward smarter, more proactive defence, driven by AI-powered platforms, deeper threat visibility, and strategic scale. Across this edition, a clear theme emerges: cyber vendors are moving beyond reactive protection to anticipate risk across increasingly complex digital ecosystems.

The featured articles reflect this shift in approach. Black Kite’s launch of ThreatTrace highlights the growing focus on supply chain resilience, enabling organisations to map malicious infrastructure before it becomes a threat. Alongside this, Vectra AI’s next-generation threat detection platform demonstrates how AI-driven signal intelligence is helping security teams cut through alert fatigue and prioritise real risk across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Industry news further reinforces this momentum. Strategic partnerships such as LevelBlue and Fortra’s managed security collaboration signal consolidation across services, while Claroty’s $150 million funding round underlines continued investment in securing critical infrastructure with AI-led solutions.

This month’s featured podcast adds a human dimension to the discussion. In Episode 60 of the Cyber Security Matters Podcast, Boris Goncharov of AMATAS and Plainsea explores the psychology behind social engineering, offering timely insight as human behaviour remains one of the most exploited attack vectors.
