2026 is looking to be another challenging year in the evolution of security and compliance. The convergence of AI-driven automation, identity-based attacks, deepfake-enabled social engineering, targeted attacks on critical infrastructure, and quantum-era risk is forcing organizations to rethink their security foundations from the ground up. Attack surfaces are expanding, attack velocity is accelerating beyond human scale, and many security teams are racing to keep up. 

This article breaks down the most significant threats organizations will face in 2026 and why the coming year is a pivotal moment for both enterprise and public-sector cybersecurity.

For years, FedRAMP has used a traditional authorization model that requires extensive documentation and lengthy review cycles, making it difficult for innovative SaaS providers to serve government customers. While it delivered strong security assurances, it wasn’t built for cloud-native CSPs. 

FedRAMP 20x changes this trajectory. Designed as a modernization program, 20x shifts compliance toward automation, real-time evidence, and continuous monitoring. The goal is simple: make authorization faster, more scalable, and better aligned with today’s cloud environments. And in 2026, the program transitions from a limited pilot to a requirement.

It’s a long-standing truism that biometrics are among the most robust and trustworthy forms of identity verification on the market. The whole premise was that identity is physical, unique, and nearly impossible to replicate. Deepfakes have completely dismantled this assumption.

Today, artificial intelligence can fabricate a convincing face, clone a voice from just a few seconds of audio, manipulate video in real time, and even simulate the subtle micro-expressions and eye movements that make us human. The technology is accessible, cheap, and improving by the week. What once required a nation-state’s resources now fits into browser-based tools and open-source models.

This article explores how deepfakes are transforming our understanding of biometrics and what this means for organizations operating under major federal and industry security frameworks.
