In 2026, cybersecurity leaders are operating in an environment defined by autonomy, intelligence, and relentless threat evolution.
As agentic AI systems gain traction across industries, CISOs face the dual challenge of protecting intelligent infrastructures while leveraging AI to strengthen defense. Data now extends across clouds, partners, and AI agents which demands new frameworks for visibility, governance, and resilience.
Security is no longer just about prevention; it’s about continuous trust. Organizations are embracing adaptive security models, integrating threat intelligence with real-time analytics, and embedding zero-trust principles deep into every layer of their architecture. With quantum risks on the horizon, the rapid rise of synthetic identities, and stricter global regulations, the CISO’s role is becoming as much about risk strategy and business alignment as it is about defense.
Join this CISO Leadership Forum on March 19, 2026, to hear from cybersecurity leaders on how to navigate security in the new year and beyond, including:
The rapid adoption of agentic AI, autonomous systems, and intelligent automation has redefined the cybersecurity perimeter. Data now flows through interconnected AI agents, hybrid clouds, and decentralized infrastructures, creating both new efficiencies and novel attack vectors. CISOs are leveraging advanced analytics, AI-powered detection, and continuous authentication to safeguard dynamic systems without hindering innovation. The next frontier of cybersecurity is about building trust into every autonomous process and ensuring that AI itself remains secure, ethical, and reliable.
In this timely keynote presentation, you will learn:
As enterprises expand across multi-cloud, hybrid, and AI-powered environments, zero trust has evolved from a framework to a foundational operating model. Security teams are now embedding verification, segmentation, and adaptive controls into every layer of the tech stack to safeguard identities, workloads, and data in motion. This discussion explores how organizations are scaling zero-trust principles, integrating automation and real-time intelligence to maintain resilience amid constant change.
Join this panel discussion to learn:
Identity has become the new perimeter, and trust is the currency of every digital interaction. With synthetic identities on the rise, deepfake attacks increasing, and global privacy mandates tightening, CISOs must architect identity systems that are dynamic, verifiable, and privacy-first. Continuous trust frameworks, combining AI-based verification, behavioral analytics, and encrypted data exchange are now central to securing users and maintaining compliance. The organizations that master digital trust will be the ones that turn cybersecurity from a defensive function into a competitive advantage.
