The National Cybersecurity Alliance and CybSafe released the sixth edition of Oh, Behave! The Annual Cybersecurity Attitudes and Behaviors Report 2026-2027. The report indicates that people increasingly understand what is at stake online, presenting an opportunity to narrow the gap between awareness and action.

Between April 28 and May 19, 2026, the survey covered 5,000 adults in the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Brazil and Singapore. Among U.S. adults, 58% reported that falling victim is a concern for them. Globally, 80% of people now use AI, a shift that has rapidly changed how people work, communicate and move through the digital world.

Among respondents who received cybersecurity training, 88% found it useful, and 54% improved at spotting phishing, 49% set up MFA, and 46% adopted a password manager. The most common vulnerabilities are also the most fixable. Of participants, 53% do not use MFA regularly, 60% reuse passwords and 46% rely on dictionary words. Meanwhile, 70% know what passkeys are, and biometric adoption is growing.

Workplace findings show several gaps in AI use. Among AI users, 56% have received no security or privacy training related to AI, and 32% of workplace AI users have shared sensitive company information with an AI tool without employer knowledge. Forty-three percent say their employer has not clearly communicated what they can share. Gen Z reports the highest cybercrime victimization rate of any generation, with 64% having lost money or data to scams.

“Our focus now should be on making secure behavior easier and more accessible, giving people practical training and guidance they can use in their everyday lives, particularly as AI continues to change how we work and interact online.” said Lisa Plaggemier, executive director of the National Cybersecurity Alliance.

“Awareness was never the finish line, behaviour change is,” said Oz Alashe MBE, CEO and founder of CybSafe. “This year’s Oh, Behave! data shows people are ready and willing to adapt and act.”
