The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off today, and according to threat intelligence experts, state-sponsored actors — including groups linked to Iran and Russia — are expected to target the event with cyberattacks. Critical infrastructure, financial institutions, and businesses associated with the tournament are all on the radar.
Major global events don't create new threat actors. They give existing ones better cover and more targets.
If your business operates in markets where World Cup traffic, media attention, or event infrastructure creates exposure, now is a good time to verify your incident response plan is current — and that you have a partner on retainer before you need one.
