Welcome
2026 is already shaping up to be a pivotal year in cybersecurity and at BlueFort, we’re stepping into it with real purpose and momentum. The threat landscape is evolving fast, but so are the tools, ideas, and partnerships that help organisations stay ahead.
This month, we’re diving deep into what’s next. Our AI in Cybersecurity whitepaper explores how intelligent automation is reshaping defence strategies, while Josh’s Cyber Predictions 2026 blog looks at the forces set to define the year ahead.
On Tech Talk Tuesday, we’ll take on one of the biggest topics of 2026 – Ransomware Resilience Platforms – showing how organisations are shifting from recovery to true resilience.
We’re also teaming up with Abnormal Security for our FSI webinar, “Machine-Speed Threats Need Machine-Speed Defence,” to explore how the financial sector can stay one step ahead of rapidly evolving email attacks. With our sponsorship of the Healthcare Excellence Through Technology (HETT) Northern Leaders summit on 12th February, and an insightful Interview with James Davis coming up, there’s plenty more to connect and collaborate on.
A big focus for us this year is strengthening relationships with our Evolve clients and setting up more high-touch CIO and CISO alignment sessions to ensure we’re not only supporting but listening deeply to their priorities and challenges. These conversations are sparking new opportunities to shape meaningful outcomes together across all markets.
Thanks for being part of our journey. Here’s to leading from the front with innovation, collaboration, and resilience at the heart of everything we do.
Best Wishes
Dave Henderson, CEO & Co-Founder
AI in Cybersecurity: Opportunity, Risk, and Reality
AI is reshaping the threat landscape faster than most teams can adapt. In our new whitepaper, we unpack the risks, myths, and practical steps every organisation should be taking today. Download to read the full analysis, including the biggest emerging threats, real-world examples, and the controls every organisation should have in place now.
Cyber Predictions for 2026: A Two-Part Blog from our CTO
As we look ahead to what the year may bring, our CTO Josh Neame has shared his expert predictions on the trends set to shape cybersecurity. In fact, he had so many predictions that we had to split them into two blogs. Catch up on both as you plan your strategy for the months ahead. His insights highlight the emerging risks and opportunities to help you anticipate rather than react.

Machine-Speed Threats Need Machine-Speed Defence: Strengthening Email Security for FSI
22nd January, 2pm
Email threats targeting financial institutions are accelerating, and attackers are now moving faster than traditional defences can respond. Join BlueFort and Abnormal AI to learn how FS organisations are closing the gaps, meeting DORA and STAR-FS expectations, and using behavioural AI to stop attacks before they reach inboxes. We’ll also reveal what Abnormal’s one-week Email Risk Assessment typically uncovers inside FS environments.
Tech Talk Tuesday: The Rise of Ransomware Resilience Platforms
27th January, 11am
With ransomware now a near-certainty rather than a possibility, organisations need a defence model built for compromise. In this fast-paced 20-minute session, we’ll show how assume-breach strategies, identity protection, EDR, and new ransomware resilience platforms combine to limit blast radius and guarantee recovery, even when attackers get in.
