The Convergence of Physical and Cyber Securities – A Modern Playbook
No matter the industry, CISOs are paying closer attention at the connections between cyber and physical securities. Threat detection in the cyber space is one thing but using that information to enhance security or even stop crimes in the physical world — is next level. Being able to quickly mobilize after finding risks could prevent damages or loss to an organization — or maybe even save lives.

A CISO’s Next Move
For many tenured CISOs, their careers started at a time when many companies didn’t even have a CISO. While the world has changed, now might be the time for you to also make a change. Is your next career move becoming a CISO at a larger (or start-up) organization, a board member, a CIO, a professor or maybe something totally unexpected? Let’s explore career options with panelists who have done it themselves.
Join this session to ask panelists:
Taming Third Party Risk with Advanced Technologies
Cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated and pervasive, making conventional TPRM approaches like questionnaires inadequate. AI/ML and threat intelligence have the potential to transform TPRM, as well as extending into 4th, 5th parties and beyond. Leveraging key insights can help CISOs stay ahead of evolving risks and enhance security programs, even with limited resources.
Join this session to discuss:
Identity Security in the Agentic AI Era
The rise of Agentic AI is increasing risks and complexities for Non-Human Identities (NHIs) in cloud environments. AI agents need extensive NHI access, posing new challenges in identity governance and security.
Join this roundtable to discuss:
True Defense Against API & Application Incidents
Cybersecurity measures are adept at detecting and responding to incidents across various layers, but the application layer often remains vulnerable. Many organizations have a massive vulnerability backlog that demands timely and effective defense.
Join us to explore:
Reducing Application Delivery Tech Debt from the Inside Out
With high volumes of sensitive data now flowing through web browsers, three in five organizations say data leakage is likely given current IT and security infrastructures. Stop playing catch-up. Discover new approaches to enterprise operations to reduce risk while simplifying operations.
Join this roundtable to discover:
Streamlining Compliance for Operational Excellence
Navigating today’s complex regulatory environment is a challenge for even the most resourceful enterprises. From PCI DSS to DORA and HIPAA, businesses must adopt smarter strategies to meet evolving compliance requirements while maintaining operational efficiency.
Join this session to:
Protecting Innovation — Rethinking Data Security Strategies
AI makes creating and consuming data easier than ever, with shadow AI and dark data presenting new challenges to security teams. As the tactics for protecting data evolve, security leaders must adopt a risk-based strategy to protect mission-critical data and safeguard innovation.
Join this session to discover:
Escaping Security Dogma – Redefining Human Risk Management
Security awareness programs have long been driven by dogma rather than data, often leading to ineffective and misaligned outcomes. With industry shifts and emerging trends, the modern CISO must adopt a smarter, data-driven approach to managing human cyber risk. Security leaders are moving beyond traditional training and using metrics that matter to prove the real impact of their efforts.

Governing Body Reception
Finish the day sharing lessons learned with your peers over light fare and drinks at this closing reception hosted by your Governing Body members.
The Performance Paradox — Mental Health and High Productivity
Today's relentless pursuit of success can lead to profound dissatisfaction and dramatically affect mental health. Accomplishments lack satisfaction, work is ceaseless, sleep and self-care are sacrificed. Recognizing this, leaders can play a pivotal role in breaking this cycle and nurturing a healthier and more fulfilled life for themselves and their teams.
