As 2026 approaches, credential-based attacks are accelerating faster than ever. AI-generated passwords, massive breach datasets, and automated credential-stuffing tools are redefining how attackers operate and exposing the limits of traditional password policies. Complexity and rotation rules alone can no longer keep pace with the speed at which credentials are stolen, reused, and evolved through AI. Attackers now generate near-infinite password variants, while many organizations still rely on outdated controls that were never designed for this level of automation.
Today, organizations must adopt real-time password protection that aligns with modern regulatory expectations and provides security teams with the visibility they need to act before attackers do.
Osman Celik, Research Analyst at KuppingerCole, will examine the password protection trends defining 2026: AI-accelerated password attacks, the velocity of breaches, and the regulatory direction from NIST, NCSC, and NIS2. He will explain why static password policies are no longer sufficient and offer concrete recommendations for organizations preparing for the next phase of compliance and credential protection.
Darren James, Senior Product Manager at Specops Software, will demonstrate how password protection and modern password policy enforcement can stop AI-generated and compromised credentials in real time. He will showcase Specops capabilities for aligning with security standards and reducing risk without adding user friction.
This webinar is designed for IAM professionals, CISOs, IT security managers, and compliance leaders who want to modernize password protection and prepare for 2026’s evolving regulatory and threat landscape.
