As Global CISO at internationally recognized sportswear brand Under Armour, Alex Attumalil is responsible for ensuring the organization’s cybersecurity strategy can support both today’s business priorities and tomorrow’s challenges.

Acronis Chief Information and Security Officer (CISO) Gerald Caron connects modern cyber defense with mission outcomes, Zero Trust and the responsible use of AI. His perspective places the mission at the center of cybersecurity, drawing on a career in public service, where security decisions are closely connected to accountability, continuity and mission outcomes.

Recent high-profile security incidents, starting with Hugging Face in August 2026, have raised an uncomfortable question for security leaders. Namely, when an AI agent can move across systems at machine speed, exploiting weaknesses and crossing organizational boundaries, who is actually accountable for preventing, containing and responding to the incident? 

Security teams spent years bracing for quantum computing to break their encryption. AI got there first. Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) surveyed 100 CISOs at companies with more than 1,000 employees about their 2027 plans, and found that all seven of their most-selected priorities now involve AI.

Cezary Piekarski has spent almost eight years at Standard Chartered, joining the bank in 2019 as head of malware protection and network security before taking on a succession of increasingly strategic cybersecurity roles.

In this interview with Help Net Security, Ann Barron-DiCamillo, EVP, CISO at U.S. Bank, talks about how the CISO role has grown to cover fraud, resilience, third-party risk, and AI governance. She says no single leader can own all of it, so partnerships across technology, risk, legal, and business teams matter most.

As enterprises face AI-driven cyberattacks, AI security governance must control autonomous systems that can reach data, connect applications and act on users’ behalf. That makes human accountability a core security requirement.

For most of the past two decades, the CISO’s job was defined by what they could stop. They would monitor networks, patch vulnerabilities, harden access controls, and contain incidents before they escalated. In other words, success was measured by the absence of bad outcomes.
