Cybersecurity leadership has changed dramatically over the past two decades. What once focused on technical controls has evolved into a strategic role at the core of business continuity and organizational resilience. At Cybersec Europe in Brussels on May 20 and 21, 2026, Paul Bayle, Group CISO at Atos Group, will share lessons from 25 years of securing one of Europe’s most complex global technology environments and explain how cyber resilience must evolve for the next decade.
From technical security to strategic resilience
Over the years, the role of the CISO has shifted from operational oversight to executive-level decision making. Bayle will explore how major incidents, global crisis management, and supply chain threats have reshaped cybersecurity priorities. The session highlights how large organizations build resilience at scale, align governance with business objectives, and adapt to increasingly sophisticated threats, including AI-driven attacks. For cybersecurity and IT security leaders, these changes require stronger collaboration across risk management, operations, and executive leadership.
Lessons for the next decade of cybersecurity
Attendees will gain a pragmatic perspective on how enterprises can strengthen resilience in complex digital ecosystems. The session addresses how governance models must evolve, how organizations manage global risk exposure, and how security teams prepare for emerging threat landscapes. Bayle will also share insights on balancing agility with control, improving incident response maturity, and embedding cybersecurity into business strategy. Even for professionals outside CISO roles, the session provides valuable context on how resilience is built across large organizations and what the future of cybersecurity leadership looks like.
