Agenda
Coming Soon
The CIO & CISO Executive Summit agendas are driven by the mission-critical priorities identified among the community. Each agenda is uniquely crafted By CIOs & CISOs, For CIOs & CISOs®, and will be available closer to the gathering. All topics and sessions will be inspired by the following themes.
Modernising IT and Security for Agile, Aligned, and Value-Driven Outcomes
The rapid pace of change and external pressures on the business compel the CIO & CISO to act decisively as they modernise operating models to enhance business agility and drive digital transformation. With economic uncertainty and cost pressures, CIOs and CISOs must strategically align technology investments with business goals, using outcome-driven metrics and engaging stakeholders to ensure every investment delivers measurable value.
Strengthening Cyber Resilience for Sustainable Growth and an Evolving Risk Landscape
The complex and dynamic nature of today’s risk landscape demands a responsive ecosystem of robust security measures, incident response capabilities, and a culture of awareness, whilst supporting sustainable business growth. By integrating cybersecurity into business strategies, cybersecurity measures become scalable and adaptable to future business needs and organisations are able to maintain robust security postures amidst a rapidly changing threat landscape.
Scaling AI and Establishing Value
CIOs and CISOs are shifting their focus from small-scale AI use cases to implementing solutions that deliver value across the entire enterprise without compromising security posture. Firstly, trust and reliability in data are fundamental to the success of AI and D&A initiatives. By strategically aligning secure AI solutions with strategic business objectives, CIOs and CISOs can establish ROI, improve operational efficiencies, foster innovation, and achieve measurable results.
