State of Cloud Security

What cloud security posture data from thousands of organizations reveals about risk in the AI era.

AI is changing the speed and scale of cloud security, but not its fundamentals. The organizations ready for an agentic age get the basics right: short-lived identities, keyless pipelines, and guardrails that cover every account.

The 2026 State of Cloud Security report uses real posture data from thousands of organizations on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to show what strong cloud security looks like now. Read the report to explore:

  • Why the median cloud service now carries four times as many high and critical vulnerabilities as it did in February
  • How static API keys for AI inference services and CI/CD pipelines are bringing back familiar long-lived credential risks
  • How supply-chain malware like Shai-Hulud now targets cloud credentials, secrets managers, and instance metadata
