Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

The Detectify Cyber Hygiene Index Report H2 2026 measures something most reports ignore: not what happened after an attack, but what’s exposed right now, before one occurs. We analyzed anonymized data from a sample of +1290 organizations across the US, UK, and Nordics to understand how effectively they’re finding, monitoring, and closing vulnerabilities across their external attack surfaces.

When modern development teams and AI agents ship code at unprecedented speeds, the runtime security checkpoint becomes an indispensable line of defense. However, far too many AppSec teams find themselves drowning in a sea of false positives, overburdened by legacy tools that infer potential vulnerabilities rather than proving their real-world exploitability.
