The State of Human Risk 2026 is a survey-based whitepaper arguing that human risk — insider threats, credential misuse, and user-driven errors — has become the primary cybersecurity challenge. It identifies five critical gaps (attack surface expansion across collaboration tools, insider risk profiles, tool integration failures, governance/retention issues, and AI readiness), presents regional adoption patterns, and recommends unified protection for email and collaboration, human risk management, stronger DLP/compliance, tool consolidation, and AI preparedness.
