Agenda

Coming Soon

The CISO Executive Summit agendas are driven by the mission-critical priorities identified among the community. Each agenda is uniquely crafted ‘by CISOs, for CISOs,’ and will be available closer to the gathering. All topics and sessions will be inspired by the following themes.

Securing AI, Automation and New Technology

The promise of generative AI, advanced automation, or any new tool is, at its core, another silver bullet. But without the proper diligence, these tech progressions can open up a whole new world in terms of vulnerability - be it AI-bred data corruption or overlooked gaps in your automated processes.

Building Operating Models that Foster Agility and Security by Design

CISOs can no longer build success on a record of single-threat responses. Instead, they'll need the ability to put out fires while constantly shifting focus; wading waist deep into one issue, only to pivot and readjust at the speed of technological progress, threat evolution, or their organization's ambition.

Strengthening Cyber Risk's Role as a Driver for Enterprise Decision Making

Security officers have largely succeeded in establishing cyber risk as a critical business issue — rather than an IT issue. Now CISOs can set their sights on the next frontier: quantifying the business's appetite for cyber risk in relation to key objectives and leveraging that understanding to frame enterprise-level decisions.
