TechMarketView’s latest report ‘Trends shaping the cybersecurity agenda in 2026’ examines the forces presently reshaping the UK cybersecurity market, identifying ten key trends consistently surfacing across supplier and customer conversations and closing with strategic recommendations for SITS providers on how to exploit the opportunities surrounding them.

The cybersecurity market is evolving at a pace that is increasingly difficult for organisations to keep up with. AI is simultaneously transforming how security teams operate and expanding the attack surface they need to defend, whilst new models like Anthropic’s Mythos are amplifying fears of AI-led security breaches. Underneath the AI noise, platform consolidation is continuing due to rising budgetary pressure, regulatory change is forcing organisations to act, and post-quantum cryptography, sovereign delivery and secure enterprise browsing are moving from fringe conversations to active procurement considerations.

Organisations that appeared to have substantial security programmes were still breached in 2025, not through sophisticated attacks, but through procedural failures, supply chain weaknesses and legacy infrastructure that modern tooling was never built to protect. The most telling shift is that organisations have stopped asking whether they will be breached and started asking whether they can survive it.
