Microsoft Security CISO Workshop: Key Insights from Microsoft’s 2026 Digital Defence Report

Cybersecurity is entering a new era. As AI transforms the way organisations operate, attackers are evolving just as quickly, exploiting identities, cloud platforms, trusted relationships, and critical infrastructure with increasing sophistication. The Microsoft Digital Defence Report 2026 provides a front-row view of this changing threat landscape, revealing the trends, tactics, and emerging risks that security leaders need to understand now.

Join Adriaan Bekker, CISO at Softwerx, for an exclusive deep dive into the report’s most significant findings and what they mean for your organisation. Discover the ten security priorities that should be at the top of every leadership agenda, explore the rapidly evolving AI threat landscape, and learn how organisations can embrace AI securely while staying ahead of increasingly capable adversaries.

Drawing on Microsoft’s global threat intelligence, we’ll also examine the latest developments across the cloud threat landscape, discuss the challenges of protecting critical infrastructure, and uncover what Microsoft Defender detections reveal about the threats most likely to shape 2026 and beyond. You’ll gain practical insights, actionable recommendations, and a clearer understanding of how to strengthen resilience in an increasingly complex and connected world.

Whether you’re a CISO, IT leader, security professional, or business decision-maker, this webinar will equip you with the intelligence and strategies needed to turn emerging threats into opportunities to build a stronger, more secure organisation.

Intended Audience

The Microsoft Security CISO Workshop Webinar series is for all IT Security Professionals who have a responsibility and remit for strategic decision-making within their organisation and, or the tactical deployment of security products and solutions.
