The cybersecurity landscape is shifting, and so is the CISO mandate. Based on insights from 1,600 CISOs across 16 global markets, the Proofpoint 2026 Voice of the CISO report reveals improving cyber resilience alongside growing pressure to manage AI, human risk, data security, and rising business expectations.

In this 60-minute webinar, Proofpoint Resident CISO Patrick Joyce will go beyond the headlines to explore what these findings mean in practice. Drawing on the latest global research and his experience advising security leaders, he'll examine the trends reshaping the CISO agenda and discuss how organizations can prepare for what's next.

You’ll gain insight into:

• 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.

Join us to explore what the 2026 findings reveal about the future of cyber leadership. Whether you're a security leader, risk professional, or business executive, you'll leave with practical perspectives, global benchmarks, and actionable insights to help shape your strategy for the year ahead.
