The ITWeb Security Summit 2026, scheduled to take place in Cape Town on 26 May and Johannesburg 2 and 3 June, will see leading South African cyber security distributor Solid8 Technologies partnering with global vendors to showcase innovative identity, actionability and AI solutions.
Gartner defines actionability as the ability of an organisation to translate AI and insights into concrete, measurable business outcomes. The global research guru emphasises that moving from "demonstration" to "production" requires balancing AI technology readiness with human readiness.

Under the theme: “Redefining security in the face of AI-driven attacks, fragile supply chains and a global skills gap”, the 2026 summit will take place in Cape Town (25-26 May) and in Johannesburg (2-4 June).
