Enterprise Defenses Recovered at the Edge and Collapsed Inside

Picus Labs' Blue Report 2026 analyzed over 338 million attack simulations in client production environments during the first half of 2026 and found that enterprise defenses are strong at the perimeter but weaker against stealthy attacks that avoid detection. The research suggests attackers are increasingly succeeding by operating quietly rather than using noisy exploitation techniques.

Why it matters: Security teams relying on noisy attack detection may have blind spots against sophisticated threat actors; practitioners should evaluate whether their defenses can detect low-and-slow attacks and lateral movement inside the network.
