CISO Off Duty
CISO Off Duty
A space for the person, not the position.
CISOs have many opportunities to connect professionally, but far fewer spaces dedicated simply to supporting them as people.
CISO Off Duty is a free, confidential, monthly virtual gathering for CISOs and Deputy CISOs, including those on leave, in career transition, seeking new roles, or recovering after stepping away from the role.
Facilitated by Dr. Sara Rabinovitch, PhD, clinical psychologist, behavioral scientist, and Founder & Chief Science Officer of Ansera Health.
Each session combines practical, evidence-based resilience skills with guided peer conversation and mutual support.
This isn't a wellness webinar, networking event, or technical discussion. It's a place to talk openly about stress, mental health, recovery, and the human experience of security leadership.
What to Expect
Small groups: Maximum 10 participants per session
45–60 minutes: Monthly, virtual, and drop-in
Professional facilitation: Structured, supportive, and trauma-informed
Practical skills: Evidence-based strategies for stress management and recovery
Peer connection: Share, listen, or simply be present
