2026 Annual Threat Report: The Year of ‘Trusted’ Compromise -- Redmond Channel Partner

2026 Annual Threat Report: The Year of ‘Trusted’ Compromise

Drawing on thousands of investigations from Blackpoint's 24/7 SOC, this report breaks down the year's dominant attacker behaviors: SSL VPN compromise, RMM abuse, trojanized installers impersonating everyday software, fake CAPTCHA/ClickFix campaigns that weaponize the Windows Run dialog, and AiTM phishing that steals authenticated sessions rather than passwords. It ranks the top exploited vulnerabilities and CVEs of the year, identifies the five most-targeted industries (Manufacturing, Healthcare, MSPs, Construction & Engineering, and Financials), and details real campaigns the SOC disrupted, including a case where 56% of incidents were stopped before a payload was even deployed. The report closes with concrete, prioritized defense recommendations MSPs can act on heading into 2026.
