Threat  Radar 2026: Sovereignty and resilience under  increasing  pressure

The cyberthreat situation is escalating: Artificial intelligence is becoming a risk multiplier, software supply chains are being targeted by specific attacks, and the digital sovereignty of companies is increasingly under pressure due to cloud dependencies and regulatory requirements. At the same time, neglected areas such as operational technology (OT) are becoming the focus of the current threat status – with potentially serious consequences for critical infrastructure, production, and human safety.  

The Swisscom Cybersecurity Threat Radar 2026 highlights the trends and developments that are crucial for the cyber resilience of companies. Experts analyse the relevant threat vectors, classify technological, organisational, and regulatory risks, and show where companies need to act now to ensure control, availability, and trust.  

Key topics include:  

• How insecure AI usage is becoming a risk for IT architectures, data quality and supply chains, and which governance approaches can help counteract this 
• Why supply chain attacks are becoming increasingly important and what role software integrity and certifications of origin play in this 
• What digital sovereignty means today and how companies can actively manage their dependencies on cloud and technology providers  
• Why OT Security is evolving from a peripheral issue to a management task – and how companies need to address IT and OT risks together
