Roughly a third of organizations said AI topped their list of cybersecurity concerns, while concerns about malware, credential theft and cloud misconfigurations dropped from their 2025 numbers, according to Arctic Wolf’s annual AI and cybersecurity trends report . Dive Insight:Arctic Wolf described the prominence of AI on businesses’ list of concerns as a potentially worrisome trend. “An often-overlooked risk surrounding AI is that the attention it receives is distracting leaders from more familiar business risks,” researchers wrote.

Arctic Wolf’s report is based on a survey of 1,350 IT and security leaders in 13 industries in the U.S. and 17 other countries.
