# Understanding DBIR 2026: Same Playbook, Different Speed

**On-Demand webinar**

> Verizon has published the Data Breach Investigations Report 2026, and once again it delivers one of the most comprehensive, vendor-neutral views of the global cyber threat landscape.

In its 19th edition, this year's report surfaces a notable shift. This year's dataset represents the largest compilation of breach data ever assembled for the DBIR.

- **22,052** Data breaches
- **31,860** Security incidents
- **145** Countries

The 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report analyzed over 22,000 confirmed breaches and the findings are a wake-up call for endpoint security teams. Vulnerability exploitation has overtaken stolen credentials as the #1 way attackers get in. Ransomware now appears in nearly half of all breaches. And attackers are increasingly using your own tools against you. This webinar cuts through the report and maps its most critical findings directly to the controls that address them.

## In this webinar, you'll learn:

- Why exploited vulnerabilities surpassed credential abuse as the leading initial access vector
- How ransomware is evolving: More targets, fewer victims paying, and a sharp shift from custom malware to legitimate admin tools
- Why mobile and voice-based attacks now outperform email phishing and what that means for your existing defenses
- What Shadow AI looks like as a data loss risk
- How ManageEngine Endpoint Central addresses these in a single console
