The 2026 Cybersecurity Talent Report delivers compensation and staffing benchmarks from over 500 security professionals to help make confident decisions on staffing models, pay levels, and retention strategies.

As infosec scope continues to expand while budgets and headcount tighten, security leaders must rethink how their teams are structured, developed, and empowered. 

AI is rapidly reshaping enterprise application architectures, introducing LLMs, AI agents, model context protocols (MCP), vector databases, external APIs, and autonomous workflows into environments that were never designed for dynamic, decision-making systems. Yet many organizations are deploying AI capabilities without rethinking their foundational security models. Traditional perimeter controls are insufficient for systems where identity, data access, and API interactions drive risk. In this symposium, IANS Faculty Dave Shackleford explores how the core pillars of zero trust (IAM, data security, network segmentation, device trust, and continuous monitoring) must evolve to secure modern AI architectures.
