Predict 2026: AI, Trust And The Security Reckoning Ahead
Security Boulevard, Monday, January 12th, 2026
Every year at Predict, we try to answer one essential question. What is the big story for the year ahead?
For 2026, the answer is clear. AI is the story. But for the security community, the real issue is not whether AI will transform technology. It is whether we can secure it, govern it, and trust it before it transforms us.
That is why Techstrong has named AI as our Person of the Year, the first time we have ever given that recognition to a technology. And it is why Predict 2026 may be the most important Predict we have ever produced.
