Secarma Threat Intelligence Report | October 2026

Cybersecurity changes quickly, but understanding what matters shouldn’t be complicated.

The Secarma Threat Intelligence Report is our monthly review of the cyber threats, emerging trends and security developments organisations should be paying attention to. Each edition brings together trusted government, industry and technical intelligence, alongside Secarma’s own reporting and analysis, to explain what matters, why it matters and what organisations can do next.

In this month’s report, you’ll discover:

• The threat activity and initial access methods observed throughout September
• The sectors most frequently affected in our reporting
• How attackers are exploiting weaknesses in internet-facing systems
• Why cloud accounts and automated services need closer attention to their access and permissions
• How AI agents can introduce new risks when connected to business systems and sensitive information
• How suppliers, software dependencies and trusted access can expose organisations to wider threats
• Practical recommendations to help prioritise security improvements and strengthen cyber resilience

This month’s findings reinforce one clear message: businesses need to know what’s exposed, who has access and how quickly they can act.

An unpatched system can give an attacker a way in. An account with more access than it needs can let them reach further. An AI agent connected to company information can introduce risks that haven’t yet been considered. Understanding these connections helps organisations decide what needs attention first, and where testing can show whether their controls are working.
