As 2025 prepares to enter the history books, Hermitage Solutions Baltics is looking ahead to the digital landscape of 2026. To help our partners and clients stay ahead of the curve, we are highlighting a new report from our partner, Pointsharp, which examines the trends that will define the coming year.
Reflecting on Pointsharp’s 2025 predictions, the accuracy was remarkably high—though the reasons behind the shifts often evolved in unexpected ways. A prime example is cloud repatriation. While moving workloads back on-premises remains a dominant trend, it is no longer just about avoiding skyrocketing cloud fees; instead, it is driven by the need for stability in an increasingly unpredictable global environment.
And while Artificial Intelligence remains omnipresent, Pointsharp’s 2026 outlook focuses on preventing „AI fatigue” by highlighting the fundamental security shifts—like identity-first defense and digital sovereignty—before diving into the future of machine learning.
Key Themes for 2026 from Pointsharp:
- Digital Sovereignty: A shift toward localized data control to navigate changing international regulations.
- Identity as the New Perimeter: Moving beyond passwords to phishing-resistant MFA and unified login strategies.
- The Maturation of AI: Moving from „novelty” to „utility,” with a focus on securing the AI agents now integrated into daily workflows.
For a deeper dive into these trends and to see Pointsharp’s full list of 2026 predictions, we invite you to read the complete report.
