2026 GreyNoise State of the Edge Report: Where Attacks Concentrate and Defenses Fall Short

GreyNoise released a 2026 report analyzing nearly 3 billion malicious sessions over 162 days, identifying patterns in edge attacks and defense gaps. The research examines VPN targeting, infrastructure concentration, and IP rotation tactics by attackers, providing quantified data on where edge defenses fall short.

Why it matters: Security teams managing edge infrastructure need to understand actual attack patterns and concentration points to prioritize defensive investments and identify gaps in their current edge security posture.

2026 GreyNoise State of the Edge Report: Where Attacks Concentrate and Defenses Fall Short

GreyNoise examined nearly three billion malicious sessions over five months to map attack trends at the network edge. The analysis shows attackers concentrate on VPNs, exploit infrastructure density, and frequently switch IP addresses to evade defenses. Researchers quantify these gaps and suggest focus areas for improving edge security.

Why it matters: Network security teams should reassess edge controls, as attackers increasingly target VPNs, leverage dense infrastructure, and rotate IPs to bypass defenses.
