In 2026, attacks on companies in the Baltic states are increasing and their nature is changing: they increasingly target not large corporations but small and medium-sized companies with weaker protection. Three trends every manager should know.
1. Ransomware with data theft
Attackers no longer just encrypt files – they copy them first and threaten to publish them. Backups alone no longer solve the problem. What helps is endpoint protection with behavioural analysis (EDR), which stops the attack before encryption.
2. AI-powered fraud
Fake emails, voice and video calls “from the CEO” have become hard to tell apart from real ones. The technical measure is protection of email and collaboration platforms (“Microsoft 365”), the organisational one – a clear payment approval procedure and staff training.
3. Supply chain attacks
Attackers break in through a supplier or the software in use. Here it is important to use only official, supported licences, install patches on time and check for vulnerabilities regularly.
All these measures are in our catalogue: antivirus protection for home and business, EDR, vulnerability management. For business solutions we offer a free consultation – enquiry form.
