At the CISO Summit 2026, a candid and thought-provoking panel discussion tackled the topic “The CISO’s Risk & Dilemma: Are They Being Set Up To Fail?”

This session explores the growing pressures faced by CISOs as they navigate rising cyber threats, limited resources, and increasing boardroom expectations. Panelists share honest insights on accountability, organizational support, and whether today’s security leaders are set up for success—or failure.

Explore the intersection of creativity and cybersecurity in this thought-provoking session titled “How the Creative Economy Exposes The Next Frontier of Enterprise Risk”, presented by Wamaitha Mwangi, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at HEVA Fund LLP, during the CISO Summit.

In this session, Mwangi unpacks how the rapid growth of the creative economy introduces new and often overlooked enterprise risks—from intellectual property vulnerabilities to digital distribution threats. She highlights the need for organizations to rethink traditional risk frameworks and adopt more adaptive, forward-looking cybersecurity strategies.

Gain fresh insights into how businesses can protect value in an increasingly digital and creative landscape while staying resilient against emerging risks.
