Download: 2026 Credential Risk Report
A 2026 credential security report finds that while 85% of cybersecurity professionals view compromised credentials as a primary attack vector, only 19% actively monitor and remediate exposed credentials. The report identifies gaps in credential detection and response, and explains why traditional controls like MFA and password screening are insufficient for managing ongoing credential exposure.
Why it matters: Security teams need to understand the gap between credential risk awareness and actual monitoring practices, and evaluate whether their detection and response capabilities meet the standard of continuous credential defense rather than reactive controls.

A 2026 credential risk report finds that while 85% of security professionals identify compromised credentials as a primary attack vector, only 19% continuously monitor and remediate active credential exposure. The report identifies gaps in credential detection, monitoring, and response, and argues that traditional controls like multi-factor authentication and point-in-time password screening are insufficient to address the exposure.
Why it matters: Security teams managing credential exposure should review this report to understand whether their current detection and response capabilities match the threat landscape and to evaluate the case for continuous credential monitoring.
