The 2026 Verizon DBIR Just Dropped. The Human Element Number Has Not Moved. Maybe We Are Asking the Wrong Question.

Despite billions spent on security awareness training the number has not moved in any meaningful direction. This is worth sitting with. Not because training is useless but because the problem we have been trying to solve with training is not the same problem that is actually causing the breaches.
