A Tale of Two States: The 2026 Cybersecurity Paradox
The cyber threat outlooks from CIOs and CISOs at the NASCIO Midyear Conference in Philadelphia ranged from the good to the bad to the ugly — with AI front and center.
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness.”
This famous quote, from the opening of A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens and written in 1859, could well describe the state of government technology and cybersecurity in mid-2026. As I attended sessions and networked with state CIOs and CISOs over the past week, I saw that there is a wide gap in the level of hope between different state leaders.
From the opening Corporate Member Exchange Meeting to the State Meet and Greets session to coverage of the NASCIO-Deloitte Cybersecurity Study, everyone was talking about how state CISOs (and CIOs) are losing confidence in their ability to stop and recover from cyber attacks against their governments.
