In 2026, corporate cybersecurity is no longer just an option it is a vital necessity. Cybercriminals are constantly developing new methods to find weak points in corporate networks, targeting hardware, software, and user credentials. If they succeed, the result can be massive service interruptions, data breaches, and severe financial loss.
Here are the top 5 threats targeting server infrastructure today:
Next-Generation DDoS Attacks: Advanced attacks that hit multiple vulnerabilities at once to overload servers with fake traffic.
Server-Specific Ransomware: Highly targeted malware that uses "triple extortion" (encrypting files, threatening data leaks, and launching DDoS attacks).
Software Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: Malicious code hidden inside trusted dependencies and development tools.
Authentication Attacks: Brute-force, credential stuffing, and session token theft designed to bypass security controls.
Insider Threats: Risks originating from within, whether through a disgruntled employee or accidental staff errors.
How to Protect Your Infrastructure
Preventing these threats requires a layered approach. Start with infrastructure hardening, enforce a strict 3-2-1 backup strategy, and implement proactive 24/7 endpoint monitoring. Enforcing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and the principle of least privilege are also critical steps to reducing your attack surface.
