The 2026 Cyber Threat Landscape: Key Insights from 123,911 critical security incidents

Last year, the Huntress SOC analysed 6.1 billion events and responded to 123,911 critical incidents. This session distils what our 24/7 SOC actually saw into one uncomfortable truth: hackers aren't breaking in anymore: they're simply logging in. Learn how attackers levelled up their playbooks over the past year, from stolen identities that now kick off one in five incidents, to the abuse of legitimate IT tools your clients already trust, to the human error that remains the softest target of all. For MSPs, this is more than a threat briefing — you'll leave with real-world stats to justify layered, 24/7 protection to clients, a clear view of where they're exposed in 2026, and the talk track to turn it into recurring revenue.
