2026 Federal Cybersecurity Report

To understand where the defense industrial base actually stands in 2026, we surveyed more than 850 defense contractors, C3PAOs, federal suppliers, and cybersecurity professionals at our National Cybersecurity Summit. This report reveals how close the DIB really is to CMMC readiness, what threats are actually affecting organizations today, and how organizations are managing the gap between compliance and security.

What's in this report:

  • CMMC readiness benchmarks, including certification status, the biggest assessment challenges, and what's really driving the high cost of compliance
  • The threat landscape DIB organizations are facing right now, from phishing and supply chain compromise to nation-state activity, and how confident organizations are
  • The intelligence gap holding organizations back and what it means for federal cloud security
  • What's coming next, including why 85% of respondents see AI-powered attacks as their top concern for the next two years
