As we delve into 2026, cybersecurity remains a critical concern for organizations worldwide. Leveraging insights from Ev Kontsevoy, an expert at Teleport, and supporting research, this article aims to equip journalists and executives with the data needed to navigate the complexities of cybersecurity today. “We are an AI infrastructure identity company pioneering a new market category.”
— Ev Kontsevoy, Teleport. Ev Kontsevoy, a renowned cybersecurity expert, shares critical insights into the evolving landscape of cybersecurity as of 2026. His data, gathered from extensive engagements across diverse industries, sheds light on the pressing issues of identity fragmentation and credential sprawl.
Three themes stand out across governance, AI security, and cybersecurity. AI governance is becoming an operating discipline, requiring defined ownership, controls, and data accountability. Security leaders must also address the human behaviors that determine whether AI systems are used safely. Finally, fragmented identities and proliferating credentials are expanding the attack surface, making secure access infrastructure a business priority—not simply an IT concern.
