"In 20 years, we transformed food allergy awareness from nonexistent to universal—no law required. What if we could do the same for data security and AI governance?"This special episode reveals how grassroots cultural shifts create lasting change, and why 2026 might be the year cybersecurity professionals become architects of something bigger than defenses.We've distilled 2025's conversations with experts from Harvard, MIT, NYU, Brown, and the AI development frontlines into seven actionable lessons that reframe security from technical problem to human opportunity. From understanding the 800 billion AI agents already in our systems, to recognizing why your most valuable threat intelligence is already in your logs, to building the communities that make external defenses less necessary.Here's what successful security leaders are realizing: The organizations thriving in 2026 aren't just protecting systems—they're creating conditions where humans and AI can flourish together.THE SEVEN LESSONS: • Social division is our greatest vulnerability (and connection is our strength) • Technology won't save us from ourselves (but we can) • Real change happens through grassroots cultural shifts • AI demands fundamentally different thinking (here's how) • Our values can blind us (when to trust them, when not to) • The weakest links are often invisible (where to look) • Context matters more than technology (your advantage is closer than you think)FEATURING INSIGHTS FROM: Dr. Claire Robertson (NYU) | Greg Epstein (Harvard/MIT) | Dr. De Kai | Rishi Bhargava (Descope) | Tobias Yergin (Walmart AI) | Prof. Steven Sloman (Brown) | Lars Kruse | Brian Wagner | Dr. Aram Sinnreich | Jesse GilbertPERFECT FOR: Security leaders building resilient organizations | Professionals navigating AI transformation | Anyone ready to move beyond purely technical solutions🔗 StrikeGraph: https://strikegraph.comWhich lesson will change how you approach security in 2026? #Cybersecurity #AIGovernance #SecurityLeadership #CyberResilience #AIEthics #CISO #ThreatIntelligence #FutureOfWork
