Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Cyber risk in 2026 isn’t defined by a lack of security tools; it’s defined by how quickly weaknesses compound when organizations aren’t aligned. To understand how organizations are responding, we researched the priorities, concerns, and blind spots of three critical leadership roles: the CISO, CIO, and CTO.

For decades, security leaders have optimized defenses in two dimensions. Doors, locks, fences, cameras, access badges, identity systems, and multi-factor authentication have all been designed to control who and what moves through physical and digital perimeters. But as experts discussed during RSAC 2026, something fundamental has changed: the threat landscape has gone airborne.

Every so often, something comes along that forces you to recalibrate how you think about cyber risk. Not incrementally, but fundamentally. Claude Mythos feels like one of those moments. The cybersecurity industry has spent decades racing attackers to close vulnerabilities faster. Claude Mythos suggests that race may be entering an entirely new phase. One where speed itself becomes the defining risk factor.

LevelBlue is proud to share that we’ve been shortlisted as a finalist for the 2026 SC Media Awards Europe for our recently launched Resilience Retainer, recognized in the Best Incident Response Solution category. The SC Media Awards Europe program honors organizations that demonstrate outstanding leadership, innovation, and excellence across the cybersecurity landscape.

A CISO’s job never ends, and, according to a recent LevelBlue survey, the issues they are dealing with on a daily basis are piling up, causing some disconnect in priorities and a misunderstanding of how to accomplish specific cybersecurity goals. To help answer some of the more pressing questions CISOs face and to gain a different perspective on the survey’s results, we sat down with LevelBlue’s Chief Security & Trust Officer, Kory Daniels.

Navigating the labyrinth of the U.S. federal procurement system, especially for Defense Industrial Base (DIB) companies, can be challenging, particularly when trying to meet stringent cybersecurity compliance standards like the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).

A piecemeal security strategy is a losing one. Simply having a collection of disparate MDR security tools and services isn't enough to protect your organization. The real power lies in seamlessly integrating them into a unified and cohesive defense. LevelBlue understands the value of Managed Detection and Response (MDR), is unlocked when it’s not just a standalone MDR service, but the central nervous system of a comprehensive security ecosystem.

When we think about a modern hospitality organization, we mustn’t limit ourselves to just considering the hotel. In fact, hospitality companies are interlocking digital ecosystems where a single weakness can ripple across dozens of properties and millions of guest records.

Today, I’m excited to share news that represents a major step forward in how LevelBlue helps organizations strengthen their resilience and modernize their security operations. LevelBlue and SentinelOne have entered into a strategic global partnership to deliver integrated, intelligence‑driven security operations and incident response for organizations worldwide.

LevelBlue is proud to announce that Cyber Defense Magazine has named it the winner of its Global InfoSec Awards 2026 for Trailblazing Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) and Market Disruptor Threat Detection, Incident Response, Hunting and Triage Platform.
