2026 SANS State of Identity Threats & Defenses Survey Insights Event: How Identity Became the New Security Perimeter and What's Next


This event qualifies for 3 CPEs


Overview Identity has become the new battleground. From SaaS to cloud to legacy Active Directory, it is now the central control point—and attackers know it. Credential theft, token hijacking, and consent abuse are on the rise, and defenders must adapt quickly. The 2026 SANS Identity Threat & Defenses Survey delivers benchmarks and real-world data to help you strengthen your defenses. Join this exclusive webcast to explore findings that matter for both security leaders and hands-on practitioners.

 

What You’ll Learn
This webcast shares critical insights from hundreds of organizations on the front lines of identity security, including:

  • Real-world incident data: how often identity-driven attacks occur and how quickly organizations detect/respond.
  • MFA and beyond: adoption and effectiveness of passkeys, token/session protections, and adaptive authentication.
  • Non-human identity challenges: governance, automation, and security for machine identities, DevOps, and AI agents.
  • Zero Trust realities: the state of least-privilege implementation without breaking user productivity.
  • ITDR maturity: who owns identity threat detection and response, and how budgets and tools are shifting.
  • Signal and platform impact: which telemetry and tools make the biggest difference in detection and response.
