Security Navigator 2026 Webinar: When Cyberattacks Target Minds: The Rise of Cognitive Threat

Cybersecurity is no longer just about protecting systems.

From deepfakes and synthetic media to coordinated disinformation campaigns, attackers are increasingly targeting perception, trust, and decision-making, not just infrastructure. These emerging threats are reshaping the enterprise risk landscape

But how real is this risk today? And how prepared are organizations to respond?

Join Orange Cyberdefense and Charl van der Walt for a thought-provoking discussion exploring whether disinformation and cognitive threats are becoming material business risks, and what organizations can do to address them.

Drawing on insights from the latest Security Navigator research, this session will examine how these threats manifest, why most organizations are not yet equipped to handle them, and what role cybersecurity providers can play in helping detect, assess, and respond.

What you will learn

  • How disinformation and cognitive warfare are evolving — and why they matter for enterprises
  • Where organizations are most exposed (brand, executives, operations)
  • Why current security models are not designed to address these threats
  • What capabilities are needed to detect and respond effectively
  • How Orange Cyberdefense is approaching this emerging challenge

Who should attend

  • CISOs and security leaders
  • Threat intelligence and SOC teams
  • Risk, compliance and governance leaders
  • Digital, communications and brand protection teams

Why attend

Gain early insight into one of the most important and least understood shifts in cybersecurity, and join the conversation shaping how organizations will defend trust and influence in the years ahead.
