Hornetsecurity’s latest Cybersecurity Trends Report 2026 reveals how accessible AI tools are transforming the threat landscape, fuelling a sharp rise in Ransomware attacks and a +130.92% surge in malware.

This webinar will reveal:

• Why Ransomware is resurging in 2026
• How AI is accelerating and evolving cyberattacks
• The latest data from 6 billion monthly emails revealing massive spikes in malware
• How CISOs are adopting “resilience, not perfection” as the new defence standard

The webinar will feature two key industry figures: Jake Moore, cybersecurity expert, industry commentator, and Global Cybersecurity Advisor for ESET, one of Europe’s pioneering cybersecurity companies. He will share insights on today’s evolving Ransomware threat, along with exclusive, data-driven findings, offering both detailed technical analysis and real-world perspectives.

Dr Yvonne Bernard, CTO of Hornetsecurity, the global provider of next-generation cloud-based security, compliance, backup, and security awareness solutions. With a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Dr Bernard has a deep technical background and will bring her own unique vision to the session.

Operational Technology is quickly becoming an organisation highest risk point and in 2026 it’s becoming a regulatory consideration too. 

Over this four part webinar series we will be joined by guest speakers as we explore what operational and IT convergence really means for all industries, not just manufacturing and CNI; how it will be impacted by the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill and what blueprint all organisations can follow to gain resilience across their environment.

Join our new series of events, ScotlandIS Tech Tidbits, on the first Tuesday of every month!

These 30 minute webinars will be short, informative sessions on a variety of topics, from exporting to cybersecurity, cloud computing to procurement, and many more.

Each event will feature a ScotlandIS member offering their expert insights and advice on the topic in hand, however you do not need to be a member to attend these talks.

For this extra webinar in February to mark Cyber Scotland Week 2026, we’ll be joined by guest speaker Debra Cairns, Managing Director of Net-Defence.

Over the past two to three years, supply chain (SC) risk has shifted from an emerging to current risk.

Supply chain risk encompasses a wide range of factors, including economic uncertainty, political instability, natural disasters, and supplier failures. However, today we will be exploring one pressing threat: cyber risk within your supply chain.

An attack on your supply chain can cause significant impact to your ability to operate if they are unable to provide products, systems, and services. Equally as damaging is a cybercriminal launching a cyberattack against you through your supply chain.

Identifying these risks can be challenging, as supply chains are often large, complex, and interconnected. Threats can emerge at any point and take many forms, whether they are inherent, introduced, or exploited by cybercriminals looking for vulnerabilities.

Learn:

• What is Supply Chain Risk & Types of Risk (Inherent/Introduced/Exploited)
• Exploited Risk
• Human Risk
• Role of email
• SC Risk Management

For this third extra webinar in February to mark Cyber Scotland Week 2026, we’ll be joined by guest speaker Cian Heasley, Principle Consultant and Threat Function Lead at Acumen Cyber.

This presentation will walk through the steps that a typical organisation with limited security resources could take to integrate threat intelligence and knowledge of the threat landscape for their industry sector into operational and strategic security planning.

The focus will be on practical examples that attendees can take away and adapt for their own organisations – book your place to join us in February.

For March, we’ll be joined by guest speaker Alan Thorburrow, CEO of Mindroom.

Neurodiversity refers to the natural variations in the human brain, highlighting the strengths of individuals who think, feel, and experience the world in diverse ways. In this talk, we will explore how implementing neuro-inclusive practices can help reduce stigma and promote acceptance of this often-overlooked aspect of human diversity.

This presentation is aimed at employees and employers who are interested in learning more about neurodiversity and exploring strategies to create a more inclusive environment for neurodivergent employees.

Mindroom

As an organisation founded upon lived experience, Mindroom champions all forms of neurodiversity and supports all kinds of minds. Our mission is to advance inclusion and acceptance for children, young people, and their families, driving change in how we live, work, and learn.

Every day, access rights in SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams grow more complex and more dangerous.

As Microsoft Copilot rolls out, unmanaged permissions don’t just grant user access anymore, they become AI access.

In this session, Andy Syrewicze will uncover:

• The hidden risks beneath the surface of Microsoft 365 permissions
• Explore the compliance and security impact
• Show how MSPs and IT leaders can regain control with clear visibility and consistent governance

For May, we’ll be joined by ScotlandIS member Phoenix and their partner, N-able.

In this session, N‑able will walk you through a real attack scenario drawn directly from recent frontline experiences. We’ll then tie the scenario to today’s threat landscape—where phishing, credential theft, and AI‑generated social engineering continue to target individuals directly. Finally, we explore how AI is transforming the SOC, helping IT teams better protect users, detect malicious behaviour sooner and accelerate a response through best practices and tools.

Here’s what we’ll cover in this session:

1. Attacks Start with a User: Most breaches begin with a human moment and why recognising early warning signs is crucial

2. Today’s Threats Are Faster and Smarter: Phishing, identity attacks, and AI‑driven impersonation have grown by 50% in 2025 according to the NCSC

3. AI Strengthens Defences: AI‑powered detection, analysis, and response help security teams act faster, cut through noise and offer organisations a strong return on investment in their security operations
