At the CISO Summit 2026, a candid and thought-provoking panel discussion tackled the topic “The CISO’s Risk & Dilemma: Are They Being Set Up To Fail?”

This session explores the growing pressures faced by CISOs as they navigate rising cyber threats, limited resources, and increasing boardroom expectations. Panelists share honest insights on accountability, organizational support, and whether today’s security leaders are set up for success—or failure.

Explore the intersection of creativity and cybersecurity in this thought-provoking session titled “How the Creative Economy Exposes The Next Frontier of Enterprise Risk”, presented by Wamaitha Mwangi, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at HEVA Fund LLP, during the CISO Summit.

In this session, Mwangi unpacks how the rapid growth of the creative economy introduces new and often overlooked enterprise risks—from intellectual property vulnerabilities to digital distribution threats. She highlights the need for organizations to rethink traditional risk frameworks and adopt more adaptive, forward-looking cybersecurity strategies.

Gain fresh insights into how businesses can protect value in an increasingly digital and creative landscape while staying resilient against emerging risks.

LATEST MAGAZINE

The CIO Africa magazine is your source for the most current thinking on the pressing issues at the intersection of business, technology, and leadership. We work hard to bring you insightful articles and commentaries from leading minds across industries to help you stay on top of the trends shaping our world.

The April 2026 editions of CIO Africa magazine examine the evolving role of technology leadership and communication across the continent. East Africa’s Dr. Kenneth G. Riany (KMTC) demonstrates large-scale educational technology impact across 92 campuses, while South Africa’s Sibusiso Mbingo (C Ahead Digital) showcases the transition from corporate digital leadership to entrepreneurial ventures, and West Africa’s John Mago (Sterling Bank) reframes cybersecurity as business survival strategy. All three editions explore why CIOs have become their organizations’ most consequential communicators and address the critical executive challenge of positioning technology leaders as strategic partners rather than glorified technicians. The issues also feature insights from Anna Ambrozevich, Women in Tech Global Youth Director, highlighting the importance of nurturing young female talent in Africa’s growing technology sector.
