2026 Small Broadband Provider Cyber Threat Report
CyberShare: The Small Broadband Provider Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC), is dedicated to promoting the resiliency and continuity of operations for small network operators across the United States. By collecting and disseminating threat information, indicators and mitigation strategies from public and private sources, CyberShare facilitates critical intelligence sharing among participants to help small broadband providers recognize, analyze and respond to vulnerabilities.
The 2026 Small Broadband Provider Cyber Threat Report examines the evolving cyberthreat landscape facing the telecommunications sector, with a focus on the adversaries, vulnerabilities and tactics most relevant to broadband providers. Using the Predictive Adversary Scoring System (PASS), CyberShare assessed 330 threat actors and identified 35 adversaries with recorded attacks directly affecting telecommunications organizations. The report highlights the top threat actors facing the sector and examines common adversary types and motivations, MITRE ATT&CK techniques and vulnerabilities being exploited, helping providers better understand where risks are emerging and where to focus limited cybersecurity resources.
The findings underscore the value of timely, actionable intelligence and collaboration as threats to broadband networks continue to evolve. CyberShare brings together more than 150 member companies and 380 individual participants through trusted information sharing, expert analysis and peer collaboration. Participants receive daily and weekly threat reporting and analysis, peer and expert calls, real-time information sharing and other resources designed specifically to help small broadband providers strengthen their cybersecurity posture and protect the networks and communities they serve.
