“As we begin to push the envelope with GenAI, there are significant opportunities to address some of the long-standing challenges in cybersecurity, particularly the skills gap and unsafe human behavior. The biggest predictions this year are clearly not technology-related, as the human element continues to attract far more attention,” says Deepti Gopal, principal analyst at Gartner.

2026, enterprises that combine GenAI with an integrated platform architecture in security behavioral culture programs (SBCPs) will experience 40% fewer employee-caused security incidents. These programs aim to reduce risk by specifically managing employee behavior, combining behavioral science principles, data analytics, and automation to achieve measurable cultural change. SBCP solutions include both technical and non-technical capabilities aimed at shaping a digital security culture within organizations.

Personalized employee engagement is often a critical qatar mobile database of an effective SBCP, and GenAI can take into account unique employee characteristics to create personalized content and training materials.

Organizations that use customer information may face potential regulatory and legal implications. According to Gartner, cybersecurity leaders may face personal legal consequences due to new laws and regulations. Gartner predicts that by 2027, two-thirds of the top 100 global organizations will insure their cybersecurity leaders.

Gartner also notes the opportunity for security and risk management (SRM) leaders to use GenAI in proactive collaboration with other business stakeholders to improve the overall cybersecurity effectiveness of the enterprise. This should include a human-centric approach to reskilling existing security professionals using GenAI to complement, rather than replace, humans.
