About the webinar

Is it the same risky 10%? This year, we can answer.

Last year we found that 10% of the workforce drives roughly three quarters of risky behavior. In this live session, we'll unpack the 2026 findings, drawn from 55.9 million risk signals across 4.9 million verified identities.

74.8% of risky behavior still traces to the riskiest 10% of the workforce.
64% of this year's riskiest 10% weren't on last year's list
68% less time in a risky state after completing action plans, up from 60%.

What you'll learn

Questions we'll answer live

  1. 01Is human risk still concentrated?
  2. 02Is it the same 10% year over year?
  3. 03Can risky users actually be reformed?
  4. 04How fast do new programs see results?
  5. 05How do you find emerging risk and act before it becomes an incident?
The finding in one line

Nearly half of last year's risky users reformed. An almost equal number replaced them.

The riskiest 10% isn't a fixed cast of characters. It's a role people rotate through as jobs, access, threats and habits change. That's why point-in-time programs chase where the target was.

01 · Reform is real 46%

Risky is a state, not an identity

Of those who were risky in 2024, 46% became net-vigilant a year later.

02 · Attacks are increasing 2x

New roles, new access, new exposure

Targeted people now face about 14 real phishing attempts a year, up from 8.

03 · Where it concentrates Top 10%

Deepest where the stakes are highest

Almost all data-loss and endpoint risk traces to a small, identifiable slice of people.
