Analysis of 216M Security Findings Shows a 4x Increase In Critical Risk (2026 Report)

Zscaler's 2026 VPN Risk Report reveals a fourfold increase in critical security risks based on analysis of 216 million security findings. The report highlights that artificial intelligence has dramatically shortened the window for human response to threats, effectively transforming remote access systems like VPNs into one of the fastest paths for attackers to breach networks. Security experts warn that VPNs, once considered secure gateways, are now enabling attackers to move through systems at speeds comparable to AI-driven threats.
