2026 State of Digital Risk Report

Digital risk is the dominant security conversation of 2026. This report is the first to measure what enterprises are actually doing about it. Cybersecurity Insiders surveyed 1,100+ enterprise security and risk leaders for Outtake Labs. Five findings. One new framework. A self-assessment tool.

By the numbers

Methodology, not findings. The actual percentages stay in the PDF.

  • 1,100+ enterprise security and risk leaders surveyed
  • 5 structural findings
  • 8 stages of the Digital Trust Kill Chain mapped
  • 3 maturity tiers benchmarked
  • 1 new framework: the AI Trust Gap

What's inside

The AI Trust Gap. The gap between detecting that an AI agent has been compromised and being able to stop it before the action lands. Most enterprise programs have not yet measured it. Most will find themselves on the wrong side of it.

The Maturity Matrix. A self-assessment tool benchmarking enterprise programs across three tiers at every stage of the Digital Trust Kill Chain. Use it to see where your program ranks against industry peers.

The five findings. Who actually owns digital risk in 2026. Where executive and workforce exposure is widening fastest. The AI front no perimeter tool was built for. Why the detection pipeline runs on a signal almost no one has dashboarded. And where the next twelve months of investment is going, and why most of it will not solve the architectural problem.

The body of work. This is Volume 02 of Outtake Labs, building on the 2026 Digital Trust Industry Pain Report and the Digital Trust Kill Chain framework. Three documents. One thesis.
