In the latest report, Predicts 2026: Cybersecurity Program Rebrands to Cyber Resilience, Gartner predicts:
"By 2028, 50% of CISOs will be asked to own disaster recovery, in addition to incident response, reflecting a broader organizational focus on cyber resilience."
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.
Download the report, we think you’ll learn:
- Why resilience is replacing prevention as the strategic priority
- How to prioritize critical operations and prepare for regulatory shifts
- What the expanding CISO remit means for recovery, disaster readiness, and cloud sovereignty
