In a changing environment, the key is no longer to stay one step ahead, but to maintain a resilient infrastructure that ensures a rapid response when \u2014 not if \u2014 a cyberattack occurs. In the coming months, many of the key issues from previous years will recur, but there will also be specific challenges: \u201c2026 is shaping up to be a year in which attacks will be faster, cheaper, and more credible, as AI and automation now perform much of the work that previously required time and skill,\u201d explains Marijus Briedis, CTO of NordVPN. Briedis also warns of what he calls \u201cthe growing monoculture of the internet,\u201d in which the supply of cloud platforms, CDNs, and productivity tools is concentrated among a few players, and therefore compromising any of these systems or providers has a significant impact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most important change, however, is trust,\u201d says Briedis, referring to deepfakes, voice cloning, synthetic identities, and automated phishing chats, among others, which \u201cwill continue to erode trust \u2026 as criminals increasingly focus on authentication and cloud access, rather than just devices.\u201d He also draws attention to the quantum risk to digital security, with criminal strategies such as \u201ccollect now, decrypt later\u201d forcing cybersecurity departments to improve their privacy and information protection tools.<\/p>\n<p>For \u00c1ngel Ortiz, director of cybersecurity at Cisco Spain, by 2026 \u201ccybersecurity will evolve towards models based on speed, automation, and continuous identity verification.\u201d He highlights the impact of generative and agentic AI in defining \u201can increasingly complex threat landscape,\u201d based on \u201clarge-scale automated cyber operations. Identity has become the new security perimeter, as attackers no longer need to break in but&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4137702\/challenges-and-projects-for-the-ciso-in-2026.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Challenges and projects for the CISO in 2026 https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4137702\/challenges-and-projects-for-the-ciso-in-2026.html Publish Date: 2026-03-06 03:03:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":220500,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/4137702-0-38636100-1772784188-jeshoots-com-LtNvQHdKkmw-unsplash.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[26,24,25],"class_list":["post-220499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-ai","tag-cybersecurity","tag-phishing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220499"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220499"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220499\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":220501,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220499\/revisions\/220501"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
