The 2026 Verizon DBIR Unpacked with Author Philippe Langlois
About this episode
Today's session is one you genuinely don't want to miss. Every year, Verizon publishes what is arguably the most respected, data-backed snapshot of the global threat landscape, the Data Breach Investigations Report.
The 2026 edition is the 19th annual installment, and it just set a new record: over 22,000 confirmed breaches analyzed across 145 countries. The numbers don't just confirm what we suspected, they shift how we must implement our defense in depth strategies.
Joining us is Philippe Langlois, principal author of the 2026 DBIR and one of the minds behind how Verizon collects, interprets, and translates breach data into actionable intelligence.
