Why The 2026 AI Cybersecurity Summit Matters
Fortinet, Friday, April 3rd, 2026
Over the past year, one thing has become impossible to ignore: the gap between AI adoption and AI security has never been wider.
Organizations are embedding AI faster than their security posture can adapt - deploying GenAI tools, building AI-powered applications, and experimenting with autonomous systems, often without the governance, visibility, or controls to match. It is precisely this growing divide that makes the 2026 AI Cybersecurity Summit so critical.
Findings from the forthcoming 2026 Global Threat Landscape Report reinforce why this gap is so consequential. AI enables attackers to act faster by automating reconnaissance and exploiting the same blind spots that appear when adoption outpaces security. As organizations rush to deploy AI, they inadvertently widen the attack surface - creating new entry points through unmanaged tools, unprotected APIs, and ungoverned data flows that adversaries are already learning to exploit.
