Balancing Innovation and Resilience
Readiness Built for Business Impact.
Where cybersecurity leaders transform risk into strategic advantage.
Join us for the 2nd CISO 360 UK, created and hosted by Pulse Conferences, where CISOs and cybersecurity leaders will gather for an energetic and impactful event focused on core priorities and by key verticals.
What to Expect
CISOs will share their strategies, explore emerging trends, and benchmark the latest tools and tactics to address the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape. Participants will challenge the status quo through:
- Case Studies – Real-world insights from industry leaders
- Fireside Chats – Intimate and dynamic conversations with renowned experts
- Interactive Roundtables – Collaborative problem-solving sessions with CISO peers
Evening networking events, cultural experiences, and an exclusive dinner will provide the perfect setting to forge lasting professional relationships, strengthening the CISO 360 community.
- Real-world, practitioner-led insight: Grounded in recent incidents, lived experience, and operational decision-making – not abstract frameworks. Local, regional, and global perspectives combine to reveal second- and third-order impacts.
- Peer-level, off-the-record discussion: A trusted, closed-door environment where CISOs share candid lessons on governance, communication, and technical controls — with clear, actionable takeaways.
- Board-facing readiness: Scenario-led sessions designed to help CISOs translate cyber and intelligence risk into board-level decision intelligence.

“The people are amazing. CISO 360 gathers the best of the best – the organisations that came here, the speakers are fantastic, the vendors that we can speak to about the products are great. It’s really hard to say no to the Pulse team. I absolutely love them. The talks have been fantastic and piqued my interest. The most interesting contact has been about management, case studies, third-party risk, and AI. The camaraderie that is achieved through the social networking events is fantastic. We went out on the catamaran and, to be honest, I thought I was going to be sick, mainly because of the boat, but it was still so good! Afterwards the meal sponsored by Qualys was fantastic. Pulse go out of their way to make us feel comfortable, especially in a new city as well I’ve never been to before, so massive thanks for that.”
VP Information Security EMEA, Northern Trust
“I’ve really enjoyed the conference, I’ve enjoyed meeting people, learning more about what’s top of mind for CISOs and in the cybersecurity space. The sessions have all been great. There is a great CISO 360 community, it’s very tightly knit – we talk to each other a lot, share a lot of experiences, and that’s fantastic.”
Chief Scientist and SVP of AI, Dataminr
“It’s been fantastic to see innovation and start-ups feature at CISO 360 for the first time. It’s good to see that the CISOs are genuinely interested and coming to talk to us. One of the big pluses of this event is that it’s not all jam packed into one day, and there isn’t that intense hard sell aspect that you typically see, which obviously puts people off. It’s been really good to take things more gently to get to know CISOs and vice versa.”
