Security Navigator 2026

Our team gathered the latest global intel and compiled our insights into a classified mission report called ‘Security Navigator’.

Multiple sources confirm the rapid growth of organised cybercrime into an industrialised, AI-driven threat, shaped by geopolitical tensions. Numerous foreign actors try to destabilise Europe, and in the middle of it all sits Belgium: a key strategic and political centre with a big target on its back.
