 "summary": "ENISA's 2026 threat landscape, based on 8,257 incidents in calendar 2025, assesses that AI will highly likely increasingly support malicious operations and that 2026 will likely see more kill-chain phases directly enabled by AI, with possible human-out-of-the-loop proofs of concept. It notes AI applications becoming targets where they hold files, credentials, sessions or development environment access.",
