The Briefing Behind the 2026 Global IR Report
Go deeper than the data. Hear directly from Unit 42’s leaders as they map executive priorities to the threat landscape.
Minutes to impact: The adversary has optimized for speed.
For years, we had days to respond. Then we had hours. Now, the data says we have minutes. The 2026 Unit 42 Incident Response Report confirms what we've all felt but haven't quantified: The adversary isn't just smarter; they're faster. The friction is gone. The "human" element of the attack has been optimized by AI.
While the data tells you what happened, experience tells you why. Hear from the Unit 42® leadership team for a breakdown of the new threat reality from the frontlines.
Learn how to shape your cyber resilience strategy around these key trends:
Speed now defines risk: Attacks are 4x faster, with data exfiltration in < 1 hour in some cases.
Identity accelerates impact: 65% of initial access is driven by identity-based techniques allowing unauthorized access, privilege escalation and lateral movement.
Sprawl expands exposure: 87% of attacks unfolded across multiple attack surfaces, making it harder to correlate attack signals.
Watch now to gain critical insights, actionable strategies and learn how Unit 42 can help you stay ahead in 2026 and beyond.
