Check Point Software's 2026 Cyber Security Report Shows Global Attacks Reach Record Levels As AI Accelerates The Threat Landscape
Check Point, Monday, February 2nd, 2026
Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., a pioneer and global leader in cyber security solutions released its Cyber Security Report 2026, the company's 14th annual analysis of global cyber attack trends.
The report reveals that organisations experienced an average of 1,968 cyber attacks per week in 2025, representing a 70% increase since 2023, as attackers increasingly leverage automation and AI to move faster, scale more easily, and operate across multiple attack surfaces simultaneously.
AI is driving one of the fastest security shifts the industry has experienced, forcing organisations to reassess long-standing assumptions about how attacks originate, spread, and are stopped. Capabilities once limited to highly resourced threat actors are now widely accessible, enabling more personalised, coordinated, and scalable attacks against organisations of all sizes.
