# The Practitioner's Breakdown of the 2026 Unit 42 Global IR Report

## Frontline intelligence you can act on.

The speed of the attack lifecycle has reached a tipping point. Adversaries have successfully automated the most time-consuming phases of an intrusion, allowing them to move from initial access to full impact at record speed.

Hear from security experts Preston Miller and Dan O'Day as they break down the **2026 Unit 42 Global Incident Response Report**. This session moves beyond high-level trends to deliver technical insights from over 750 real-world investigations. You'll learn about:

* **Kill chain compression:** How attackers are collapsing the kill chain from access to impact, faster and quieter than ever.

* **Identity as the primary attack path:** Why credentials, tokens and excessive privilege now dominate real-world IR cases.

* **Weaponizing trust:** How SaaS integrations and third-party access are abused to bypass controls and expand blast radius.

Watch now to gain the insights you need to defend in the 2026 threat landscape.
