Agenda Highlights at Upcoming CISO Summits in North America

As Evanta gears up for the upcoming CISO Executive Summit gatherings across North America, understanding our community’s top priorities in the ever-changing security landscape is critically important to delivering value-driven content that makes an immediate impact in CISOs’ day-to-day lives. 

Hearing directly from our CISO communities across 2023 helps ensure we stay true to the “by CISO, for CISO” mission. Bringing together security leaders, thought leaders and trusted partners creates a secure environment where like-minded individuals can effectively collaborate on tools, best practices and future strategies.

Across the 20 CISO Executive Summits taking place from October through December in communities around North America, security leaders can expect to hear strategic insights and tactical tips around securing AI automation and new technology; building operating models that foster agility and security by design; and strengthening cyber risk's role as a driver for enterprise decision making.

Here’s a quick look at a few of the planned sessions and speakers you may see at your upcoming CISO Executive Summit.
