340%
increase in AI-generated phishing
Adversaries are using large language models to craft hyper-personalized phishing campaigns at scale, bypassing traditional email filters and user awareness training.
72%
of attacks evade legacy EDR
Living-off-the-land techniques, fileless malware, and identity-based attacks consistently bypass endpoint-only detection strategies.
14 days
average dwell time (down from 21)
Organizations with 24/7 MDR coverage reduced attacker dwell time by 33% year-over-year, limiting lateral movement and data exfiltration windows.
6 new
ransomware families targeting healthcare
Healthcare remains the most targeted vertical, with new ransomware variants specifically designed to encrypt medical imaging systems and EHR databases.
91%
noise reduction via Agentic SOC
Dark Star AI agents autonomously triaged and resolved 91% of alerts without human intervention, freeing analysts to focus on genuine threats.
3.2x
faster response with AI-augmented SOC
Organizations deploying Dark Star Agentic SOC alongside human analysts achieved 3.2x faster mean-time-to-respond compared to traditional SOC operations.

Industry verticals covered
The 2026 Dark Star Threat Report is based on anonymized, aggregated telemetry from Apsispoint's global MDR deployments. Data was collected between March 2025 and February 2026 across endpoint, network, cloud, identity, and email security layers. All findings were validated by our Threat Research Unit and mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework (v15). Industry-specific analysis covers healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, legal, technology, and retail verticals.
