The 2026 Cybersecurity Trends Report is based on a representative sample of the work carried out by the Sofistic team in 2025, consisting of the analysis of 1,350 vulnerabilities through 140 security audits and the results of monitoring 100,000 alerts and 1,500 cases managed through their SOC.
The analysis is based mainly on critical infrastructures and the banking, education, health, services, retail, and telecommunications sectors of Spain and Latin America. A snapshot of the cybersecurity situation that can be extrapolated to any organization.
