NORMA Cyber 2026 Report: a maritime threat that is primarily geopolitical, more hybrid than spectacular

The latest NORMA Cyber annual report has the merit of placing maritime cybersecurity back where it now truly operates: in a space saturated with geopolitical tensions, logistical interdependencies, and blurred boundaries between cyber, physical, and informational domains. Its main outlook for 2026 (for those who still believe in cyber crystal balls) is that the structuring risk is not so much the “big” destructive attack as the accumulation of intelligence operations, opportunistic disruptions, and hybrid effects on already strained logistical and operational chains. In that sense, it is a less alarmist report than it may appear at first glance, and that is probably its main strength.
