2026 Kaseya Email Security Report: AI, Phishing and the New Era of Defense
Kaseya research highlights how generative AI is transforming phishing into a faster, more scalable and harder-to-detect attack vector.
Key findings from the report include:
- 2025 marked an inflection point where AI reshaped both phishing attacks and defensive strategies.
- AI-generated phishing has become the baseline, enabling attackers to produce highly convincing messages at scale.
- Traditional detection signals such as poor grammar and suspicious links are becoming ineffective as attacks grow more sophisticated.
- Phishing remains the most prevalent and impactful cyberattack vector, often targeting SMBs disproportionately.
