The 2026 Threatscape – Is it Time for a New Strategy? - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

As cyber threats evolve in complexity and impact, organizations need to consider a new strategic direction for addressing "The 2026 Threatscape." This presentation explores whether companies should implement strategies that account for Low Probability, High Impact Events and what it takes to become a High Reliability Organization (HRO). Organizations that transform into HROs can achieve a return on their cyber-resilience investments and enhanced customer confidence. This requires organizations to acknowledge all failures regardless of size, embrace complexity, empower front-line employees, build resilience and leverage subject-matter experts—all while confronting the rise of AI-powered threats. In this session, we'll identify potential "undisclosed" risks of significant global disruption and explain why organizations must be perceived as reliable. Steve Yates - Chairman of the Resilience Association, will share frontline experience on building resilience into both cyber resources and organizational structure. He'll discuss critical scenarios organizations must plan for, while addressing third-party dependencies and the essential human element of cybersecurity. Key Takeaways: - Analysis of Low Probability, High Impact Events, with focus on Global Supply Chain vulnerabilities and critical third-party dependencies - Core components of the High Reliability Organization framework, including principles for embedding resilience processes into daily operations - Practical strategies for navigating the next wave of Digital Resilience, including challenges to Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) amid technological advancement - Case studies of recent significant disruptive events that tested major global organizations, with observations on effective defensive capabilities - Actionable insights for developing a comprehensive strategic approach incorporating training, knowledge transfer, cross-organizational collaboration, and compliance measures
