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.

Accelerate Exposure Management To Defend At Machine Speed

Attacker timelines have eclipsed human-centered vulnerability management models. CISOs must redesign exposure management to move past reactive, static scoring. By enforcing shorter remediation SLAs, automating response actions, and correlating exposures, organizations can eliminate bottlenecks and neutralize AI-driven exploitation before attackers act.

Unify AI Risk Into Existing Cyber Governance Practices

As AI adoption accelerates, creating isolated AI security policies fragments risk management and slows decision-making. CISOs must establish formal ownership over AI cybersecurity risks by evolving existing cyber GRC practices. Integrating threat-informed assessments and AI literacy into unified registers ensures secure innovation while maintaining comprehensive board-level visibility.

Optimize Cybersecurity Portfolios Through Outcome-Driven Investment Strategies

Facing economic headwinds and growing technological complexity, CISOs must transition from traditional rollover budgeting to strategic cost optimization. By eliminating overlapping vendor capabilities and utilizing outcome-driven metrics, cybersecurity leaders can negotiate protection level agreements with executives, ensuring investments directly advance organizational resilience and deliver measurable enterprise value.

We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming in-person gathering
