Essential Data Sources for Detection Beyond the Endpoint
Summary: The 2026 Unit 42 Global Incident Response Report states that threat actors are moving 4x faster to exfiltration than in 2025 and strike across three or more surfaces at once to exploit blind spots left by endpoint-only monitoring. In 75% of incidents Unit 42 investigated, critical evidence of the initial intrusion was present in the logs but was not readily accessible or operationalized because of complex, disjointed systems.
What you should know: The evidence of the breach was already in your logs in three out of four incidents - the failure was correlation, not collection, and attackers moving 4x faster to exfiltration are counting on that gap between isolated tools.
