Cybersecurity in 2026 is shaped less by any single threat than by compounding pressures, an expanding IoT attack surface, more capable adversaries, supply-chain dependencies few defenders fully map, and a regulatory landscape fragmented across sectors, states, and standards bodies. This panel asks four voices from across the field, network operators, federal standards-setters, cybersecurity lawyers, and enterprise advisors, to name the problem they actually think is hardest, where real progress has been made, and where defenders are still losing ground.
