​As cyber threats escalate in sophistication and regulatory landscapes tighten, the responsibilities of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) have expanded far beyond traditional defense postures. The Evolving Role of the CISO brings together security leaders, technology innovators, and executive decision-makers to examine how the CISO role has transformed into a strategic business imperative.

​This event will explore how modern CISOs balance risk management with business enablement, integrate security into digital transformation agendas, and influence board-level discussions on resilience and governance. Through expert keynotes, interactive panels, and real-world case studies, attendees will gain actionable insights on topics including proactive threat intelligence, cloud and identity security, regulatory compliance, talent development, and aligning security strategy with overall corporate objectives.

​Whether you are a seasoned security executive, a technology leader, or a board member responsible for enterprise risk, this forum provides a comprehensive view of how leading organizations empower their CISOs to protect critical assets while driving innovation and competitive advantage.
