2026 SANS Report: Is Your Identity Security Strategy Built for Resilience?

The 2026 SANS State of Identity Threats & Defenses Survey reveals why traditional defenses are failing against modern attacks and what organizations must do to achieve true identity resilience today, tomorrow, and beyond.
 

  1. The 24-Hour Containment Gap: 68% of firms detect attacks within 24 hours, but only 55% can actually stop them in that time.

  2. AI Risk: 73% are already deploying autonomous AI agents—often ungoverned before security guardrails are even built.

  3. The New Perimeter: Why monitoring post-authentication behavior is now more critical than the login itself.
