Leading with Intelligence — CIOs and CISOs as Strategic Business Influencers

IT and security executives face a perfect storm: expanding threat surfaces, fragmented visibility, constrained budgets, and rising regulatory scrutiny. In this high-stakes environment, security leaders must evolve from technical guardians to strategic influencers — translating risk into business value and guiding enterprise resilience.

Join this session to explore:

  • Translating threats into business terms, positioning security as a differentiator
  • Benchmarking with your peers on intelligence-driven security strategies
  • Preparing now for “over the horizon” risks to your business
