The year 2025 redefined the cyber threat landscape, as attacks escalated from data breaches to crippling business-wide disruptions. Last year's cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover halted production lines for five weeks, prompting the British government to step in with a $2 billion bailout.

Moving into 2026, the board's focus should be on ensuring business continuity and building resilience in the face of emerging risks generated by AI usage and attack vectors, quantum computing and geopolitics.
