The CISO role is entering a new chapter. 

Based on insights from 1,600 CISOs across 16 global markets, the Proofpoint 2026 Voice of the CISO report reveals a complex picture of cyber leadership.

AI has moved from experimentation to enterprise priority, human risk is now central to data protection, and boards are asking tougher questions about cyber resilience, business impact and accountability.

Join Proofpoint hosts Kent Breaux (SVP EMEA) and Matt Cooke (Director, Cybersecurity Strategy) for a 60-minute discussion with CISOs from across EMEA on what the 2026 findings mean in practice.

This live panel will go beyond the numbers to explore the real-world decisions facing CISOs today: how to enable AI securely, reduce human risk, protect sensitive data, and communicate cyber risk in terms the board can act on.

You’ll hear real-life CISO perspectives on:

• Why human risk remains the greatest cybersecurity challenge - and why the conversation is shifting from awareness to data security
• How CISOs are navigating AI risk while enabling innovation and protecting sensitive data. 
• Why improving resilience doesn't mean the pressure is easing as the threat landscape continues to evolve
• How the relationship between CISOs and the board is changing - and what that means for security leadership

This is an opportunity to benchmark your priorities against peers, hear directly from experienced CISOs, and gain actionable insight to help shape your security strategy for the year ahead.
