2025 was a defining year for cybersecurity, and many businesses felt the impact. In this episode, Armour Cybersecurity breaks down the biggest cyber threats, trends, and lessons from 2025, and what they mean for SMBs heading into 2026.
Looking back, 2025 made one thing clear: cyber attacks are no longer a big-company problem. Ransomware groups spent the year moving downmarket, targeting small and mid-sized businesses that hold valuable data but run leaner defenses. AI changed the economics on both sides, giving attackers faster, more convincing phishing and giving defenders better detection, provided they actually deployed it. Supply chain incidents reminded everyone that your security is only as strong as your vendors’, and cyber insurance requirements tightened as underwriters responded to a year of expensive claims.
In this episode of Beyond the Breach, the Armour Cybersecurity team walks through the threats that defined the year, the trends that are carrying into 2026, and the practical lessons SMBs should take from both. Whether you spent 2025 responding to incidents or quietly hoping to avoid one, this recap is a chance to benchmark your own posture against what actually happened, and to start the new year with clearer priorities.
