Five shifts that will shape your security team in 2026

The new year brings renewed energy, refreshed goals, and sharper priorities. But at the same time, clarity can be hard to find as AI changes how work gets done, expectations rise, and cyber risk grows. As 2026 begins, several major shifts are already shaping how security teams operate, collaborate, and find satisfaction in their work.

Introducing Starter Edition in Tines

Lean teams are expected to keep critical work moving with limited time, headcount, and budget. Whether you’re responding to incidents, managing user access, or keeping systems connected behind the scenes, the reality is the same: keeping processes moving reliably is harder than it should be when resources are stretched thin. That’s why we’re introducing Tines Starter Edition, a new Tines plan for smaller organizations to begin building intelligent workflows that scale as you grow.

Futureproofing Tines: Fair share orchestration

Fair-share orchestration of resources in a tenant, especially in a multi-tenant context is a complex, multifaceted issue. It involves ensuring equitable access to shared resources, preventing system overload, and maintaining optimal performance across all customer workflows. As more customers build and trust Tines with their most important workflows, (which sees the platform handle over a billion automated actions per week), we recognized that we needed to ensure our platform's scalability.

Voice of Security 2026: AI is everywhere yet manual work persists

AI adoption in security has soared. But for many teams, manual work and burnout remain stubbornly high. To understand why, and what security teams must do next, we partnered with Sapio research to survey more than 1,800 security leaders and practitioners worldwide for our Voice of Security 2026 report. We wanted to learn how teams are using AI and automation, how the role of security is evolving, and how professionals believe AI will impact their careers. The data is revealing.
