At the IGEL Now & Next 2026 conference in Miami, technology leaders from companies like Microsoft, Omnissa, HP, Lenovo, Zscaler, and Palo Alto Networks will come together to discuss how adaptability is now the defining measure of security. The event will focus on how the last decade was about enabling access, but the next will be about enabling trust that adjusts to identity, context, and risk in real time. Attendees will gain insights on how organizations are shifting from reactive defense to preventative security design to address the growing threat landscape, including the rise in ransomware attacks and unsupported operating systems.

Why it matters

As the traditional perimeter has been dismantled by hybrid work, the endpoint has become the enterprise's most strategic control point. With threats multiplying faster than detection systems can evolve, and complexity itself becoming an attack surface, security leaders are recognizing the need to move from reactive defense to preventative design.

The details

The IGEL Now & Next 2026 conference in Miami will bring together IT leaders to discuss how adaptability and prevention are reshaping endpoint security in the age of AI. The event will explore how organizations are shifting their security approach, with 66% of companies now experiencing ransomware attacks and the average downtime and remediation costs being significant. Additionally, nearly half of enterprise Windows endpoints have not yet migrated to Windows 11, leaving many running unsupported operating systems and expanding the attack surface.
