Cybersecurity’s Top Projects for 2026: What CISOs Must Deliver Next

Cybersecurity leaders are entering 2026 facing unprecedented pressures — from securing AI‑driven environments and defending against deepfakes to preparing for postquantum threats that could undermine today’s cryptography. At the same time, CISOs must enable innovation and strengthen enterprise resilience. This webinar explores Gartner’s top eight cybersecurity projects for 2026, outlining where to focus time, talent and investment over the next 12 months. 

• Prioritize high‑impact cybersecurity projects aligned to emerging threats and business outcomes

• Implement cybersecurity controls for AI ecosystems, including governance for AI agents and secure development workflows

• Accelerate readiness for postquantum cryptography to mitigate future cryptographic risks

• Strengthen defenses against deepfakes and AI‑enabled attacks with advanced detection and response strategies

• Integrate cybersecurity initiatives into enterprise resilience planning to protect innovation and agility

• Apply Gartner‑recommended best practices for sequencing and delivering these projects within a 12‑month window
