📅 - Global Study Finds Gap Between Cyber Detection and Containment - A new global cybersecurity study released in 2026 highlights a growing mismatch between organizations' ability to detect cyberattacks and their capacity to stop them before damage occurs. The research, conducted by CyberEdge Group and commissioned by Illumio, surveyed 700 IT and security leaders across seven countries to assess enterprise preparedness against modern threats.
The findings reveal that while nearly all organizations believe they can identify suspicious activity in their networks, many struggle to contain attackers once they gain access. According to the survey, 95% of respondents say they can detect unauthorized lateral movement, yet 46% admit they cannot effectively stop [...]
