“L’État de la Menace Cyber en 2026” brings together cybersecurity professionals for a focused exploration of the evolving threat landscape. Organized by Advens and its Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), the webinar addresses the realities of persistent and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, drawing on recent high-profile incidents to ground the discussion in current events.
Current Threat Landscape: Persistent and Evolving Risks
The cyber threat environment in 2026 is marked by a surge in both the frequency and complexity of attacks. High-profile breaches, such as the ANTS incident, have underscored the vulnerability of even the most prepared organizations. The webinar examines these events, offering a clear-eyed assessment of the tactics and motivations driving today’s attackers.
AI and the Militarization of Cybercrime
Artificial intelligence has become a double-edged sword in cybersecurity. The emergence of advanced models like Mythos is reshaping the threat landscape, enabling more convincing phishing campaigns, sophisticated social engineering, and the automation of obfuscated malicious code. The session explores how these technologies are being weaponized and what this means for defenders.
Geopolitical Instability and Hacktivism
Geopolitical tensions continue to fuel cyber activity, with state-sponsored groups targeting critical infrastructure and operational technology. Hacktivist campaigns, often motivated by political or ideological goals, add another layer of complexity. The webinar delves into recent trends, highlighting the operational challenges faced by organizations in sectors such as energy, government, and supply chain.
Supply Chain and Third-Party Security Risks
Large-scale data theft and supply chain vulnerabilities remain pressing concerns. As organizations become more interconnected, the risk of cascading breaches grows. The event addresses practical strategies for managing third-party risk and securing the extended enterprise.
Actionable Recommendations and Expert Insights
Participants gain access to prioritized security measures and real-world case studies, equipping them to adapt their defense strategies in response to the latest threat intelligence. The session emphasizes the importance of expert feedback, concrete recommendations, and a proactive approach to organizational security.
Who Should Attend?
This webinar is tailored for cybersecurity professionals, IT security managers, CISOs, risk managers, and decision-makers responsible for safeguarding critical infrastructure. It is particularly relevant for those operating in sectors where the stakes are high and the threat landscape is rapidly evolving.
Industry Context and Event Experience
As cyber threats continue to escalate, events like this serve as vital forums for knowledge sharing and strategic alignment. Advens, alongside industry partners such as EDF, positions itself at the forefront of thought leadership, offering attendees both a strategic overview and practical tools for immediate application. The live, virtual format ensures accessibility for professionals across regions, fostering a collaborative approach to cybersecurity challenges.
