The Check Point Research Annual AI Security Report 2026 highlights a significant shift in the cyber threat landscape, where AI has transitioned from a development assistant to an active operational agent. Attackers are now utilizing AI to conduct live intrusions, build complex malware frameworks like VoidLink, and exploit the agentic architecture of commercial models through persistent configuration bypasses.
The report further details the maturation of AI-driven criminal services, including automated phishing and voice-agent vishing kits. As virtual identities become increasingly forgeable and indirect prompt injection attacks rise, organizations face growing risks from unauthorized GenAI usage and sensitive data leakage, particularly within the Business Services sector where high-risk prompts have reached alarming levels.
