What’s new in cyber security in 2026?

About this episode

The episode discusses the evolving cyber security landscape for charities in 2026 and practical steps to enhance security.

What constitutes good cyber security in 2026? The cyber security landscape is always evolving, particularly in the wake of artificial intelligence. With almost three in ten charities experiencing a cyber breach or attack between 2025 and 2026, it is important that the sector keeps pace with the threat and knows what robust cyber security looks like in a challenging environment. In this podcast, we are joined by Mike Horton, Head of Business Development at Qlic IT, to discuss how the cyber threat landscape has changed for charities and what practical steps organisations can take to prepare for these changes.
