Cybersecurity will converge with wearable technology
Wearables bring their own challenges. Health trackers and the data they collect – such as heart rate, location, sleep patterns – are prime targets. Breaches of fitness platforms or insurer wellness programs could expose deeply personal information…Expect moves toward security certification for consumer IOT health devices, building on Australia’s voluntary IOT Trust Mark and emerging smart device standards.
Smart cities and critical infrastructure will come under siege
Hyper-connected cities will greatly expand the national attack surface, with every connected system becoming a potential point-of-entry for malicious actors…In 2026, expect at least one major city to suffer a coordinated cyber attack with a real possibility of ransomware taking down IT networks and connected services…In 2026, expect attackers to escalate tactics, moving beyond data theft to manipulation, such as altering permit records or health data to sow chaos
Digitizing government services will lead to heightened threats
