Properly and effectively engaging the board and advising on governing cyber risk is an increasingly critical part of the CISO’s job. As organizations digitize and become more AI-centric, cyber risk and enterprise risk continue to merge, providing a platform for CISOs to lead impactful board-level discussions. When properly framed, security leaders guide risk governance strategy and position security as a part of the overall risk landscape.

State and local government agencies face a unique set of transparency obligations which are often more stringent, diverse and operationally fragmented than those at the federal level. As agencies consider deploying agentic AI—systems that autonomously produce actions and outputs—they must consider that these outputs may be considered public records, and explanations on how the outputs were generated may be called into question. In this virtual symposium, geared specifically for those working at state and local agencies, IANS Faculty Jake Williams provides a practical framework for assessing transparency risks and preparing for agentic AI adoption in state and municipal environments.

Hosted by IANS Faculty Jodi Daniels, this Regulatory and Enforcement Roundup will provide a focused, time-sensitive update on the most critical privacy-related regulation and enforcement developments from the past 60 days.

Most penetration tests are scoped around targets, not outcomes. The result? A technically impressive report that demonstrates exploitation paths — but leaves enterprise value on the table.

CISOs naturally bring different skill sets and strengths to their roles, and organizations must hire according to business needs. This report provides a holistic view of common CISO skill sets as well as the benefits and disadvantages based on organizational goals and requirements.

In this webinar replay, IANS Faculty Steve Martano and Senior Director of CISO Research Nick Kakolowski provide a deep dive into the 2026 State of the CISO data to discuss how the CISO role is evolving.

In this webinar replay, IANS Faculty Aaron Turner and Steven John look ahead to 2026, a year shaped by uncertainty and change, where under-resourced defenders must contend with AI-enabled, well-funded adversaries.

This report provides a seven-step process designed to help cybersecurity teams work with developers to shore up inter-AI technology security

The 2026 AI Report combines data from IANS community polls with hard won lessons from CISOs on the front lines of AI adoption.

As AI projects and usage – whether building, buying or managing embedded capabilities within current tooling – proliferate across the enterprise, security leaders and their teams are playing a pivotal role in the governance of these emerging technologies. During this highly interactive session, IANS Faculty Summer Fowler draws on her experience to facilitate peer exchanges that equip attendees with practical, in-room takeaways to strengthen their AI governance programs.
