In the latest report, Predicts 2026: Cybersecurity Program Rebrands to Cyber Resilience, Gartner predicts that by 2028, 50% of CISOs will rebrand their cybersecurity programs as cyber resilience programs—signaling a critical shift in how organizations manage risk and measure success.
This evolution affects leaders at every level. As threats grow and resources tighten, resilience offers a smarter, more sustainable approach: focused on limiting business impact, ensuring continuity, and aligning security with what matters most.
