CISOs and security leaders accountable for identity, cloud, and ransomware risk
IAM and IGA teams managing access governance and Zero Trust initiatives
Risk and compliance leaders aligning posture with regulatory pressure
What this report covers
How organizations rank across cybersecurity posture maturity levels
The most exploited identity-related exposure gaps in 2026
AI-powered attack readiness and impersonation defense trends
Ransomware blast-radius exposure benchmarks
Third-party and supply chain access risk insights
Zero Trust adoption maturity vs. perception gap
Executive metrics boards are demanding in 2026
Why identity sits at the center of 2026 threats
Modern attacks don't break in, they log in through excessive access and privilege creep
Unmanaged identities are now the most common breach entry point
Posture is defined by how access is governed, not by how many tools you own
Key findings from the 2026 benchmark
Most organizations overestimate their Zero Trust maturity
Identity-related misconfigurations remain a leading breach factor
Privileged access review gaps multiply ransomware impact
Third-party access governance is one of the least mature security domains
AI impersonation risk is outpacing detection maturity
