State of Enterprise DFIR – 2026 Report

Drawing upon a comprehensive survey of private sector domain experts, the sixth annual State of Enterprise Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) report reveals that the speed, scale, and complexity of digital investigations have reached a critical inflection point—with significant implications for organizational leadership.

The findings outline a clear shift in how today’s digital investigations are conducted, including:

  • How DFIR professionals employ AI to find the truth faster, even as adversaries adopt the same technologies to advance their attacks
  • The emerging importance of real-time collaboration as a difference-making feature in SaaS-based DFIR solutions
  • The continued prominence of mobile devices as data sources, despite ongoing challenges accessing the information they hold
  • An expanding investigative toolset that often forces practitioners to spend precious time on tedious manual integration activities

In this environment, investigative readiness is no longer just a technical concern—it’s a leadership one—and the ability to respond effectively will depend on how organizations equip their DFIR teams to operate at scale.
