PREEMPTIVE SECURITY OPERATIONS. BUILT FOR RESILIENCE.
Modern security leaders are facing unprecedented challenges: attackers using AI in new and novel ways, consistent resource constraints, and the ever-expanding attack surface. Defenders must do more than keep pace, they must disrupt threats before they can have an impact. This moment demands a new paradigm. One where preemptive defense delivers continued cybersecurity resilience and teams escape from the cycle of reactive security with security programs that take away attacker advantages.
Rapid7’s 2026 Global Cybersecurity Summit brings together CISOs, security leaders, customers, and preemptive security experts to examine how modern teams shift away from reactive security operations and create a path toward cyber resilience.
For the first time, this two-day event will follow a dual track designed to speak to the unique needs of security leaders and practitioners. Select your timezone to save your spot.

HERE’S WHY YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO MISS THIS SUMMIT
Preemptive security is a whole new model for cyber resilience
Attendees will gain a practical perspective on how preemptive security changes your approach to risk management and how it creates cyber resilience in process, people, and technology. You’ll hear real world perspectives from industry thought leaders, and, perhaps most importantly, learn how to develop a shared framework aligning exposure management, MDR, and AI into one cohesive operating model.
The AI balance exists and your team can achieve it
With AI increasingly embedded in workflows, it can be easy to over-rely on its speed while sacrificing transparency and human expertise. It is essential to understand where AI can accelerate security outcomes and where it can hinder sound decision-making. The summit will explore this balance in depth, offering actionable insights, not just theory.
Two days, two tracks, maximized applicability
For the first time, the summit will span two days and dual tracks designed to provide real-world advice and perspectives for SOC analysts, threat specialists and CISOs and security directors alike. Each track will speak to the unique pain points each group faces and how to create a structure that advances security resilience.

Preemptive security built for resilience.
Rapid7’s 2026 Global Cybersecurity Summit is coming to arm every security practitioner and leader with the tools to apply preemptive security in their own security environments with the conviction that every team can predict, disrupt, and defeat attackers, building a program with security resilience at its core.
