5 days, 120 CISOs from around the globe, one Village.
I was proud to take part in Team8 CISO Village Summit 2026, a gathering that reminded me why this community matters so much. We spent the week discussing AI, nation-state threats, insider risk, identity, exposure management, resilience, and the changing role of the CISO, but the real value was not only in the agenda. It was in the trust built among people facing the same hard questions from different angles.
AI is reshaping cybersecurity, no doubt. It is changing how attackers move, how defenders respond, how software is built, and how risk is understood. But the strongest lesson from this week was that in the age of machines, the human network becomes even more important.
The open conversations, the shared lessons, the uncomfortable questions, the willingness to say what is really happening inside our organizations, that is what turns a group of leaders into a Village.
Thank you, Team8 CISO Village, for bringing together an extraordinary community of security leaders.
In a world moving faster than any one organization can handle alone, the Village is not just a community. It is part of the defense.
It takes a Village.
