Cyber Threats 2026

Cybersecurity is entering a new era—one defined by AI-driven attacks, quantum computing threats, and an ever-expanding digital attack surface. In 2026, adversaries are no longer just human; autonomous systems are probing networks, deepfake scams are eroding trust, and ransomware-as-a-service is democratizing cybercrime. Meanwhile, defenders are racing to deploy zero-trust architectures, quantum-ready encryption, and AI-powered threat detection to stay ahead.

Join leading cybersecurity experts from Blackbaud for an in-depth look at what’s new and what’s next. This session will explore:

• Emerging Threats: Social engineering, identity sprawl, supply chain vulnerabilities, and on-chain cybercrime.

• Game-Changing Technologies: Post-quantum cryptography, autonomous SOCs, and AI copilots for real-time defense.

• Practical Strategies: How schools can build resilience through compliance, continuous verification, and proactive risk management.

You’ll leave with actionable insights to safeguard your mission in a rapidly evolving threat landscape
