Top 5 Cybersecurity Resolutions for 2026: Strategic Shifts You Need Now

Welcome to 2026.

A year where the velocity of threats is outpacing the legacy playbooks. Boards are asking tougher questions and attackers are using smarter tools, what about us cyber security folks? We're being told to do more, with less.

In this new environment, security must continue to evolve. Fast.

Over the next few weeks, inspired by Gartner's top strategic technologies for 2026 and Forrester's 2026 Predictions Guide for Technology and Security we’ll explore five critical resolutions that will define the most resilient and forward-thinking security programs in 2026. Each one is designed to align with what the board demands and what the threat landscape requires:

Resolution #1: Lock It Down Before It Breaks You
Treat AI like a production system: inventory it, govern it, secure it end-to-end

Resolution #2: Flip the Script on Attackers
Shift from “detect & respond” to “predict & prevent” on your highest-impact attack paths

Resolution #3: Trust, But Actually Verify
Build “trust infrastructure”: provenance for code, data, and media (because deepfakes + supply chain are real business risks now)

Resolution #4: Know Where It Lives, and What It Risks
De-risk cloud concentration and geopolitics with a clear “workload placement” strategy (sovereign-ready by design)

Resolution #5: Prepare for the Threat You Can’t Yet See
The clock is ticking on a security time bomb you won’t defuse with today’s tools: Quantum Encryption

Stay Tuned, just like 2026, this is just the beginning.

In the coming weeks, our team will unpack each of the five resolutions in a dedicated post, digging into the “Why it matters,” the “What to do now,” and the “Board-level impact” that CISOs and security leaders need to articulate clearly.

We’ll also share quick, practical first-90-day plays you can implement immediately to show measurable progress and reduce risk where it counts.
