Two-thirds of organizations don’t have strong confidence that they can ferret out cloud threats and respond to them in real time, according to the newly released 2026 Cloud Security Report from Fortinet. Cloud environments are creating a complex landscape for security teams, and AI is having a significant impact on how they are managed. The report found that 88% of organizations now operate hybrid/multi-cloud environments, a tick up from the 82% reported last year. The findings highlight “a critical ‘complexity gap’ where non-human identities are multiplying and “excessive permissions and stolen credentials create shadow access paths” across fragmented environments,” says Jason Soroko, senior fellow at Sectigo. “They are driven by structural complexity,” says Shane Barney, CISO at Keeper Security.
