KnowBe4 research finds 60% of UK organizations see cyberattacks spreading beyond email into collaboration tools.
KnowBe4 released research from Infosecurity Europe 2026 revealing a security readiness gap among UK organizations. While 54% still view email phishing as the primary threat, 60% report attacks are moving beyond email into platforms like Slack, Teams and SMS.
Two-thirds believe employees trust collaboration tools more than email, yet only 41% regularly train staff on non-email threats. The research notes 86% of global phishing is now AI-driven and highlights uncertainty about defending against deepfakes.
