CISO survey insights: trends & priorities for 2026
The session’s core message was that CISOs entering 2026 are pulled between proving cybersecurity maturity and actually improving it, with scarce capacity forcing hard choices about compliance, monitoring, sovereignty, and automation. Davide opened by explaining that IGNH interviewed 27 CISOs or cybersecurity professionals across five industries to ask what they do, where they think cyber is going, what bothers them, where they spend money, and where they feel least prepared. The research was framed around four themes: strategic priorities, biggest concerns, investment areas, and preparedness gaps. The presenters also asked the room to answer a live poll so they could compare audience priorities with the survey results.
