SafeBreach has released its 2026 State of the Breach Report, analyzing results from millions of real-world attack simulations conducted by large, global enterprises over a 12-month period using the SafeBreach Exposure Validation Platform.
The report provides never-before-seen insights about how enterprises fared against 2025’s high-profile threats by examining how security controls actually performed under real attack conditions, moving beyond traditional metrics such as alerts generated, patches applied, or tools deployed. Drawing on more than 1.8 million high-fidelity simulations executed throughout 2025, the data shows where modern enterprise defenses are performing well, where threats continue to evade controls, and how outcomes differ across industries, threat actors, and MITRE ATT&CK techniques.
Key findings show that attacks like ransomware were consistently prevented, while stealthy, identity-driven campaigns continue to evade enterprise defenses. The data highlights persistent gaps in credential abuse, post-compromise activity, and lateral movement, with more than 60% of organizations exposing harvestable credentials during testing. The report also finds that industries with integrated, centralized security stacks demonstrate stronger resilience, while fragmented IT/OT and endpoint-heavy environments fail regardless of budget or tool count.
