About the Webinar
Phishing Threat Trends 2026 is a live virtual webinar hosted by KnowBe4 that examines the current state of phishing attacks and how threat actors are adapting their methods. The session draws on findings from the latest edition of KnowBe4’s Phishing Threat Trends Report, providing analysis of attack patterns, regional targeting differences and the growing use of phishing toolkits.
James Dyer, KnowBe4’s Head of Threat Intelligence, leads the presentation. The webinar runs for 45 minutes and offers CPE credits for participating security professionals.
Phishing Tactics and Regional Threat Variations
The webinar addresses how phishing tactics continue to evolve in sophistication and scale. A significant focus is placed on regional and localized phishing lures, highlighting how attackers tailor campaigns to specific geographic areas. This presents challenges for organizations relying on uniform, region-blind defenses that may not account for localized threat patterns.
The session also covers the increase in toolkit-based phishing attacks, where threat actors use pre-built frameworks to launch campaigns more efficiently. Understanding these toolkits helps security teams recognize common attack signatures and anticipate emerging techniques.
From Reactive to Proactive Security
A central theme of the webinar is the shift from reactive incident response to proactive workforce risk management. The session explores strategies for anticipating phishing threats rather than simply responding after attacks occur. This includes using threat intelligence to inform security awareness programs and adapting defenses based on current attack trends rather than historical data alone.
Who Should Attend
The webinar is intended for CISOs, IT managers, security leaders and professionals responsible for organizational security and human risk management. It is relevant to organizations of all sizes facing phishing and social engineering threats, particularly those seeking to update their security programs with current threat intelligence.
