Bourbon & Blazers
Close out the year with an evening of great whiskey, sharp blazers, and even better conversation.
AegisAI invites Boston’s CISOs and security leaders to Bully Boy Distillers for Bourbon & Blazers, an intimate holiday gathering in one of the city’s most celebrated craft distilleries. Settle in with a pour, and connect with peers who are navigating the same challenges you are.
The evening includes a candid, off-the-record discussion led by Nicholas Bruno, Chief Information Security Officer & SVP of IT at SHL. Nick will share lessons from more than two decades of building security programs that enable business growth, and open the floor for an honest peer conversation about what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s ahead for 2027.
There are no slides and no sales pitch. Just a relaxed setting to swap stories, compare notes, and toast to a year well defended.
