- Third-party access and supply-chain relationships have emerged as one of the most significant identity threat vectors
- Regulatory pressure is increasing around MFA and supplier security, particularly in data-heavy sectors like healthcare
- Passwordless authentication is advancing, but operational realities mean passwords are unlikely to disappear in 2026
- Cybersecurity culture and user training are increasingly critical as AI-driven social engineering accelerates
