Cybercrime is no longer just growing; it is becoming more efficient, automated, and harder to stop. Driven by economics and fueled in part by frontier AI, it has reached an unprecedented scale. The line between financially motivated and state actors has blurred in a complex economy that allows criminals to evade disruption through segmentation and the adoption of commodity services.
The Infoblox 2026 Threat Landscape Report examines this reality through insights from trillions of DNS queries, underground criminal transactions, and extensive threat intelligence research. It reveals how attackers scale increasinglysophisticated lures and exploit emerging attack surfaces beyond the reach of traditional security tools.
Our mission remains unchanged: to help organizations stop attacks before they reach users, systems, and data. As cybercrime continues to industrialize, this preemptive approach is no longer just an added layer of defense—it is essential for reducing organizational risk and maximizing the effectiveness of security investments.
