Businesses believe their IT is more secure than it really is

A new study reveals a structural cyber security problem in organisations, with a widening gap between assumed security and proven resilience.

Organisations are investing heavily in cyber security, yet many are still judging success by the wrong measures. That is the central finding of a new global survey from cyber security company Horizon3.ai. The report is based on a survey of 750 IT security professionals across Europe and the United States, including both senior security leaders and frontline practitioners. It was commissioned to examine the gap between executive confidence and operational reality.

The findings suggest many organisations continue to treat busy security programmes as evidence of security. Assets are scanned, alerts are generated, patches are deployed and dashboards are updated. Yet these activities do not always confirm whether exploitable weaknesses have been removed or whether defences would withstand real-world attacker behaviour.

High confidence but limited validation
The report called The State of Assumed Security 2026 suggests that confidence in existing controls is high among senior decision-makers. According to the survey, 93% of CISOs say they could demonstrate that their organisation had taken reasonable, validated steps to prevent a breach. Meanwhile, 97% are confident their endpoint protection would detect lateral movement or privilege escalation, while 96% believe their Security Operations Centre (SOC) could identify an attacker operating inside the environment.

However, day-to-day operational practice tells a different story. Only 30% of CISOs say their organisations patch vulnerabilities and then test to confirm that risk has been properly remediated. Nearly half patch systems and simply rerun a vulnerability scanner instead. Just 12% report validating the effectiveness of their Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools within the past three months, while only 26% use red team exercises or pe*******on testing to assess the detection capability of their SOC. Among frontline practitioners, one third assume scanner findings are accurate without further testing, while 17% do not validate findings at all.

Security dominates the managed services sector

The managed services market is projected to grow from USD 460.59 billion in 2026 to USD 705.22 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period according to the latest information from Marketsandmarkets.

Managed services enable organisations to improve infrastructure availability, optimise network performance, strengthen cyber security resilience, and reduce operational burden through outsourced IT management. Enterprises are increasingly adopting managed infrastructure, managed security, managed network, and managed communication services to support digital transformation initiatives and maintain business continuity across distributed operating environments.

Advanced capabilities such as AI-driven monitoring, predictive analytics, automated incident response, and cloud orchestration are further enhancing service efficiency and operational visibility. Rising demand for remote workforce support, multi-cloud management, regulatory compliance, and continuous infrastructure monitoring is accelerating managed service adoption across industries.

Managed security segment expected to see highest growth

Managed security services include managed detection & response, SIEM management, identity & access management, firewall management, endpoint security, vulnerability management, threat intelligence, compliance monitoring, and security operations centre services, delivered through outsourced, continuously monitored cyber security environments. Increasing cyber attacks targeting enterprise infrastructure, cloud environments, and connected business operations are expected to drive the managed security services market across BFSI, healthcare, telecom, manufacturing, government, and technology sectors. Organisations are increasingly prioritising outsourced cyber security operations to improve threat visibility, reduce incident response time, and strengthen operational resilience against evolving cyber risks.

Banking and Financial is strongest vertical

BFSI organisations use managed services across mobile banking platforms, payment gateways, ATM network management, fraud detection systems, managed SIEM, identity & access management, disaster recovery, cloud infrastructure operations, and compliance reporting to maintain secure and uninterrupted financial services. The increasing cyber security and compliance requirements are expected to drive the managed services market in the BFSI sector. For instance, in April 2025, the FBI Internet Crime Report stated that cyber crime-related losses exceeded USD 16 billion in 2024, a 33% increase from 2023. This rise in cyber incidents is increasing BFSI demand for managed detection & response, endpoint security, threat intelligence, and continuous compliance monitoring services.

Digital modernisation drives smart transport market

The latest innovations in the smart transport market are helping address congestion, environmental concerns, and safety, and a new report suggests that this sector is projected to expand from USD 176.22 billion in 2026 to USD 400.92 billion by 2032 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7%.

Smart transportation is a modernisation that digitally integrates AI, IoT, 5G, as well as data analytics into the transportation systems to improve the optimality of efficiency, safety, and sustainability over road, rail, air, and marine systems. According to report authors, Marketsandmarkets, these innovations help address congestion, environmental concerns, and safety, and technologies of this nature can allow smoother operations, economic growth, and environmental conservation while enabling the movement of goods and people.

By transportation mode railways show strong growth
Railways are anticipated to hold the most significant growth rate during the forecast period, owing to their operational efficiency, commitment to sustainability, and the integration of advanced technologies. They are essential in connecting different regions and enabling economical, large-scale transportation for passengers and cargo. The sector includes innovations such as smart ticketing for seamless digital reservations, passenger information systems that provide real-time updates, freight management systems for tracking and optimising goods movement, rail traffic management to ensure efficient scheduling and safety, and rail asset management to oversee and maintain infrastructure. Implementing technologies like GIS tracking, security systems, and advanced analytics enhances operational efficiency. For example, countries such as Germany and the UK have implemented smart ticketing systems to improve passenger experiences, whereas Indian Railways uses freight management systems to enhance logistics efficiency. Due to growing emphasis on modernisation and increased investments, railways are poised to emerge as a dominant player in the transportation industry, symbolising a sustainable and technologically sophisticated option.

Governments are the biggest stakeholders
Governments are estimated to account for the largest market share during the forecast period due to their critical role in funding, building, and managing transportation infrastructure and systems. Officials, as essential stakeholders, need to ensure public safety, promote economic development, and establish sustainable transportation solutions. They make substantial investments in advanced technologies and solutions spanning various transportation modes: roads, railways, air travel, and maritime transport to tackle issues like urban expansion, traffic jams, and environmental sustainability.

Government-supported vital solutions encompass intelligent mobility systems aimed at traffic improvement, rail asset management for monitoring and maintaining infrastructure, airport security solutions to boost passenger safety, and maritime traffic management for streamlined port operations. For instance, nations such as the US and China have invested heavily in high-speed rail endeavours to enhance connectivity. In contrast, European countries have emphasised smart city projects integrating advanced traffic management with public transit networks. These efforts highlight governments’ vital obligation to foster innovation, improve infrastructure, and provide citizens and businesses with reliable, efficient, and sustainable transportation options.

Understanding transparent architecture in access control systems

Typically, readers handle encryption — they decrypt credentials locally and send access decisions to controllers. But a different model has entered the conversation, at least in Europe: transparent architecture. Here, Steven Commander who works with HID Global explains how industry stakeholders will need to understand how transparent architecture works in readiness for the new and evolving European standards.

First, it is important to define what Transparent Architecture actually is. “Transparent architecture” sounds like it could mean many things. Transparent to whom? And about what?

According to Commander, the term describes an approach where readers become “transparent” to cryptographic operations. Instead of handling encryption themselves, readers capture credential data and pass it to more centrally located controllers to handle the cryptographic work.

Transparent Architecture increasingly prevalent in Europe
“This architectural shift is driven by regulatory frameworks, particularly in high-security environments,” says Commander. France’s ANSSI Certification de Sécurité de Premier Niveau (CSPN) certification requires transparent architecture for certain facilities. Government buildings, critical infrastructure and operators of vital importance must demonstrate that cryptographic operations occur in physically secured locations, not at exposed perimeter readers.

The approach is spreading. Similar frameworks are under consideration in Germany and the Nordic countries. The concern is consistent across these discussions: readers mounted on exterior walls, in parking structures or at building perimeters are more vulnerable to physical tampering than equipment housed in controlled server rooms.

To be clear, transparent architecture isn’t replacing traditional access control universally. Most commercial buildings, corporate offices, educational institutions and healthcare facilities will continue using reader-level encryption successfully. Transparent architecture addresses specific regulatory requirements for specific environments.

Access control must extend beyond the building

For many organisations, access control is still centred on the building. But operations and the majority of physical risk often are not. Jeroen van Os, Commercial Lead – Global Technology Partnerships at Nedap is urging companies to think more deeply about their access control systems to avoid risking gaps in their corporate security structure.

In the past, access control was designed around fixed locations, users, and credentials. But that model doesn’t work when assets are distributed.

Even if sites are visited infrequently, they still need to be protected. Especially as remote, often unmanned, locations are being targeted more frequently. And access needs to be easy for those authorised.

Without the right setup, issues can include technicians having to collect keys or be escorted onto site. Keys can be lost, shared or copied. Access isn’t time-bound. Sites can be left unsecured. And visibility is limited, making it difficult to track who accessed what, when, and why.

The impact can be significant
Focusing only on buildings for access management leaves gaps that, however small, can have a big impact. This includes:

Increased security risks: Unauthorised access becomes more likely when remote sites lack proper protection.
Operational inefficiencies: Time can be wasted and costs incurred in a range of ways, from credentials being issued manually to delays getting started on site.
Compliance challenges: Regulatory demands are increasing. NIS2, for example, requires physical access logs for all locations, not just connected sites.
Reporting is difficult: If there’s no record of who accessed what or when, audits are incomplete and investigations lack traceability.

One in three employees ready to go to biometric ID

The days of plastic employee ID badges may be numbered. Many have been swiping plastic cards to access their workplaces for years, but a new survey conducted in the US reveals substantial numbers of workers want to hang up their lanyards and use an ID that can’t be forgotten or misplaced — their face.

According to a new survey from Alcatraz, the privacy forward facial biometric firm for physical access, biometric systems such as facial authentication are becoming more widely understood and accepted as part of daily life, including in the workplace. But there are signs of a generational divide emerging that employers will have to navigate carefully.

“Millions of Americans use facial authentication to open their smartphones or access their bank accounts. Swiping an ID badge to access the office feels outdated. Face ID for secure spaces is finally here and it is 100% anonymous. ” says Tina D’Agostin, CEO of Alcatraz. Alcatraz’s AI powered privacy forward technology has been transformative. The world’s largest AI data centers, airports and energy structures have rapidly deployed Alcatraz’s facial authentication technology to secure their high security facilities.

“As biometrics become more widely used, workers understand that they no longer have to give up their face and put personal identifying information at risk just to work securely in an office. When implemented responsibly, security systems contain multiple privacy safeguards and don’t require surveillance technology. The generational divide revealed in our survey shows that employers have to be thoughtful in how they implement these systems, because adoption only happens when people trust the technology. ”

The survey comes at a time when facial authentication is becoming more widely used in the workplace. In addition to top data centres and energy infrastructure, Alcatraz’s facial authentication biometric has also been adopted by Fortune 100 companies, NFL teams, and stadiums to secure backstage areas and, in some cases, for audience access.

Frost: Businesses are seeing digital trust platforms as imperative

Frost & Sullivan’s latest analysis, Frost Radar: Digital Trust and Esignature Ecosystem, 2026, reveals that in this era of digitalisation, enterprises are increasingly moving beyond basic electronic signatures toward comprehensive digital trust platforms that integrate identity verification, cryptographic assurance, and long-term document integrity.

As organisations contend with sophisticated cyber threats, AI-generated fraud, and expanding regulatory requirements, digital trust has emerged as a strategic business imperative rather than simply a compliance requirement. The global digital trust and Esignature ecosystem is projected to generate $13.48 billion in revenue in 2026, reaching approximately $20.84 billion by 2031, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%.

“The market is undergoing a fundamental transformation,” said Riana Barnard, Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “Organisations are no longer evaluating electronic signatures as standalone workflow tools. Instead, they are investing in integrated digital trust platforms capable of verifying identities, protecting transaction integrity, ensuring long-term legal defensibility, and supporting increasingly complex regulatory requirements across global markets.”

Frost & Sullivan identifies several transformative trends reshaping the market. As enterprises digitise increasingly complex workflows, demand is accelerating for end-to-end digital trust platforms that unify electronic signatures, identity verification, cryptographic assurance, and document integrity within a single interoperable architecture. Rather than focusing solely on the act of signing, organisations are seeking solutions that establish trust across the entire digital transaction lifecycle.
