Key Takeaway Read the full ASD Cyber Threat Report on the ACSC website and use its findings to review and prioritise your own business's security defences.

The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), through the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), has released its seventh annual Cyber Threat Report, covering 2025-26.

The announcement frames the report around a simple message: know the threat, strengthen your defences, and turn cyber intelligence into cyber resilience. The summary provided does not include the report's findings, statistics or specific recommendations, so those details are not covered here.

For small businesses, an annual report from Australia's lead cyber agency is a useful reference point for understanding the threats they are most likely to face. Reading the full report on the ACSC website is the best way to see what it says about current threats and what it recommends.
