Gartner SRM 2026 Preview

Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit is where the cybersecurity world comes together to gain analyst-backed insights, engage in peer conversations, and evaluate the solutions shaping the future of enterprise security. Gartner's mission is to help security and risk leaders stay ahead of an increasingly complex threat landscape, and this summit is where that guidance comes to life.

The 2026 summit is designed specifically for CISOs and their teams, with an agenda informed by the challenges most pressing to security organizations right now: AI-driven threats, expanding attack surfaces, regulatory complexity, and the need to prove cybersecurity's value to the board.

Echo’s story, and how to recognize our brand

Echo’s booth and swag have received high praise across various cybersecurity conferences – the brand catch phrases of “Making your job boring,” and “There’s nothing to fix” have generated tremendous buzz, and even landed call-outs by keynote speakers at conferences like Container Days in London. You can see below why people are so excited about our brand and swag.

Why Attend?

Gain analyst-backed guidance: Sessions are led by Gartner analysts delivering objective, research-grounded insights. Walk away with frameworks and recommendations you can act on immediately back at your organization.

Connect with your peer community: Gartner SRM brings together thousands of security and risk leaders in one place. Roundtables, networking sessions, and the expo floor create space to exchange ideas with CISOs and practitioners who are navigating the same challenges you are.

Evaluate the solutions market: The expo floor features leading and emerging cybersecurity vendors across every domain; detection and response, cloud security, identity, risk and compliance, and more. It's one of the most efficient ways to benchmark your current stack against what's available.

Gartner SRM 2026 Theme

The 2026 agenda is built around a central reality: security leaders are operating at the intersection of AI opportunity and AI risk, against a backdrop of geopolitical instability, diverging regulations, and an expanding threat surface.

As Gartner frames it, tariffs, global instability, and AI-enabled attacks are all adding complexity to an already difficult job and the only way forward is for the cybersecurity community to gain and share insight faster. Together, security leaders are smarter and stronger.

Key topic areas for 2026 include:

• AI in Cybersecurity - Govern the secure use of AI, defend against AI-generated attacks, and integrate AI into every aspect of your security program.
• Cyber Resilience - Build the organizational ability to resist, absorb, recover, and adapt to disruption.
• Cybersecurity Leadership, Management & Governance - Align security programs with business goals and demonstrate value at the executive level.
• Cloud & Data Security - Protect assets across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
• Security Behavior & Culture - Address the human factors that underpin every security program.
• Emerging Threats - Stay ahead of the attack vectors and adversary techniques defining the current threat landscape.
