The argument the cybersecurity report lands hardest for CISOs: AI agents, service accounts, and machine credentials now outnumber human users inside most enterprises, and the identity-governance practices built for humans do not survive that ratio. The other seven considerations cycle around the same problem of scale, from post-quantum cryptography migration to IT\/OT hyperconnectivity.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Non-human identities now outnumber humans in most enterprise environments, demanding lifecycle governance for service accounts, AI agents, and machine credentials.<\/li>\n<li>Autonomous security agents are moving into the security operations center (SOC), compliance workflows, and identity management, shifting workforce skills toward agent oversight.<\/li>\n<li>Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration is now an explicit regulatory program in multiple jurisdictions; finance and defense face existential pressure to act.<\/li>\n<li>Supply-chain attack surface keeps expanding into AI and IoT, pushing third-party risk management toward continuous monitoring instead of annual review.<\/li>\n<li>The CISO mandate has broadened to cover physical-cyber convergence, AI safety, and board-level resilience reporting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What the KPMG 2026 cybersecurity report puts on the CISO desk<\/h2>\n<p>The full report, available as a downloadable PDF on the KPMG site, is organized around eight considerations: preparing the cyber workforce for autonomous security; navigating geopolitics, resilience, and compliance; safeguarding AI systems; managing non-human identities; enabling trusted IT\/OT hyperconnectivity; transitioning to post-quantum cryptography; protecting the supply chain through detection and response; and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cybersecurity-insiders.com\/kpmg-2026-cybersecurity-report-ciso-priorities\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KPMG 2026 Cybersecurity Report: 8 CISO Priorities https:\/\/www.cybersecurity-insiders.com\/kpmg-2026-cybersecurity-report-ciso-priorities\/ Publish Date: 2026-05-31 15:25:00 Source Domain: www.cybersecurity-insiders.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":260532,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.cybersecurity-insiders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-05-31-151939.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,57],"class_list":["post-260531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260531"}],"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=260531"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260531\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":260533,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260531\/revisions\/260533"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
