What to Expect
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.
Evolving Leadership in Security, From Enforcer to Influencer
Today’s CISOs are moving beyond the traditional “police officer” role, acting instead as strategic influencers who embed security into business culture. By partnering with stakeholders and empowering teams, security leaders are shaping resilient organisations where security is everyone’s responsibility.
Redefining the CISO Role for a Dynamic, Risk-Taking Workforce
As new generations enter the workforce and digital risks multiply, the CISO’s mandate is rapidly evolving. Modern CISOs must adapt to shifting behaviors, manage emerging risks, and foster a culture of shared accountability—ensuring security keeps pace with the changing world of work.
Building Resilient Cybersecurity Ecosystems for Sustainable Growth
CISOs are enhancing their cybersecurity ecosystems to better support sustainable business growth and withstand rapid change. Integrating cybersecurity into business strategies is crucial for promoting collaboration across departments and ensuring that cybersecurity measures are scalable and adaptable to future business needs.
