What’s inside
The 2023 foundations still hold — know what you have, protect it in proportion to its value, and verify you can recover it. What changed is the surface area, the threat model, and the regulatory backdrop. The 2026 edition rebuilds the framework for the cloud and AI era and pairs it with a working diagnostic.
The evidence, at a glance
- 67% — share of incidents now rooted in identity-related attacks (Sophos Active Adversary Report 2026).
- $10.22M — record U.S. average cost of a data breach (IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2025).
- 96% — cyber insurers that now mandate enforced MFA (Coalition / Marsh McLennan 2024–25).
- /50 — a scored self-assessment across the six NIST CSF 2.0 functions, included free with the report.
Three things you’ll take away
- The 2026 threat picture. Why identity — not AI — is where breaches actually happen, plus shadow AI, SaaS-to-SaaS supply-chain risk, and the shared-responsibility reality for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
- An updated framework. The Three Pillars sharpened for today — Zero Trust and identity-centric resilience, the 3-2-1-1-0 backup standard, a phased roadmap, and a four-owner matrix across CFO, CIO, CISO, and BU leader.
- A scored self-assessment. 25 questions across the six NIST CSF 2.0 functions that produce a live score, subtotals, an Ad-Hoc → Managed maturity tier, and a clear next step — private by design, nothing leaves your browser.
