Episode 28: The State of Ransomware in 2026 Explained with Sophos
In this episode of Tales from the CyberLab, Adam Myers is joined by Jon Hope, Senior Technology Evangelist at Sophos, to unpack the findings of the Sophos State of Ransomware 2026 report.
On his third visit to the podcast, Jon explains why cyber criminals have turned their attention from technology to people, and why so many organisations are still caught out despite having MFA in place. He also makes the case that the firewall is far from dead, and warns that falling ransom demands are no reason to relax when the true cost of an attack keeps rising.
