A New Era of Dialogue for Executives — Transforming Cybersecurity in the Boardroom

Cyber security conversations with boards of directors must evolve. As sophisticated attacks and diverse threat actors become more prevalent, Security Leaders are increasingly seen as pivotal architects of business resilience. This means the dialogue with the board must evolve too. Are CISOs prepared for this shift? Are CISOs ready to shift from being perceived as the "Department of NO" to true drivers of business value within their organisations? Join this Town Hall to explore:

Strategies CISOs will be using in 2025 and beyond to evolve cybersecurity conversations with the board
Proving how investments in cybersecurity correlate with a safer, more robust enterprise, and delivering the message with impact
Shifting the narrative around cybersecurity to generate a true culture of security
