About the Event
The 2026 CISO Roundtable brings together security executives for facilitated strategic conversations in a vendor-neutral setting. Running from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM ET via Zoom, the half-day virtual event is designed to help senior security leaders step back from daily operations and engage with peers on high-level strategy and leadership challenges. IANS Faculty practitioners facilitate the discussions and provide personalized guidance to participants.
Key Topics
The roundtable addresses three core themes shaping security leadership in 2026. Identity Assurance for an AI World examines how organizations can maintain trust and verification as artificial intelligence transforms digital environments. Keeping Pace With AI-enabled Threat Actors explores defensive strategies against adversaries leveraging AI capabilities. The Next Evolution of the CISO, Chief Digital Problem Solver, considers how the security executive role is expanding beyond traditional boundaries to address broader digital and business challenges.
Who Should Attend
The event targets CISOs, senior security executives and director-level security practitioners from large enterprises across industries. Attendees should expect discussion-based sessions rather than vendor presentations, with opportunities to share experiences and receive actionable guidance from both peers and facilitators. The format suits security leaders seeking strategic perspectives on AI-driven threats and the changing demands of executive security roles.
