InfoSec World 2026
For more than three decades, this event has brought together security professionals as the field has evolved through multiple shifts in strategy, tooling, and practice. In 2026, the focus turns to rethinking how security teams operate, how technologies are applied, and how practitioners develop their own skills.
Several forces are driving this reassessment. Artificial intelligence is changing both defensive capabilities and adversary tactics. Threat actors are increasing in number and sophistication. Regulatory and legal expectations continue to expand, while executive leadership is taking a more active role in security oversight. As a result, security professionals are being asked to adapt and develop new capabilities to remain effective.
The community convenes to share practical experience and discuss approaches to addressing these challenges. Attendees come from a broad range of regions, industries, and experience levels, including managers, directors, and executive leaders from organizations of varying sizes.
The 2026 program is structured around a set of core focus areas intended to address current operational and strategic concerns. These include professional development and career growth; understanding emerging threats and adversary behavior; strengthening leadership and decision-making; aligning security with business and risk priorities; modernizing governance, risk, and compliance practices; applying artificial intelligence responsibly in security operations; protecting infrastructure across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments; and improving the security of software supply chains.
Together, these themes are intended to support informed discussion and practical learning, helping participants evaluate how security practices may need to evolve in response to ongoing change.
