Most organizations plan for ransomware as if it's a malware problem. The 2026 AI-Era Ransomware Report shows why that's the wrong playbook. Based on a global survey of security professionals, this report reveals how attackers are getting in through people—and why AI is making those attacks harder to catch.

Key findings include:

• 65% of ransomware victims confirmed AI use made the attack more effective.
• 47% of incidents began with a malicious link, the leading entry vector.
• 54% of affected organizations paid a ransom, and 37% of that group faced a second demand.
• 65% experienced some form of data theft during the incident.
• 40% of attacks appeared legitimate enough that employees did not suspect them.

The report also examines ransomware outcomes across 12 global markets, revealing how much the ransomware story can look very different from one region to the next.
