Driving Resilience and Trust: Cybersecurity Value Creation Tactics and Strategies for CISOs

View highlights from The 7th CISO 360 Congress
– Barcelona 2023 here!

“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 Sara, Clive and the 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. These are the smallest things that Pulse do for individuals such as myself that they don’t need to do, but they go out of their way just to make us feel comfortable, especially in a new city as well I’ve never been to before, so massive thanks for that.”
Ibraheem Khan, VP Information Security EMEA, at a financial services firm

“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.”
Gary Penolver, CTO, Quod Orbis

“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.”
Dr. Alex Jaimes, Chief Scientist and SVP of AI, Dataminr

On 5-7 July, Barcelona played host to strategic conversations with some of the most knowledgeable personalities in the cybersecurity industry from all over the world!

Created and hosted by Pulse Conferences, the 7th CISO 360 Congress – hosted at the InterContinental Barcelona brought together CISOs and international cybersecurity leaders to compare and share how they are leading teams and driving their businesses forward, as well as their visions for the future. 

Key themes included:

* How generative AI is a game-changer – for criminals and CISOs 
* The urgent need for collaboration between public and private organisations
* How the role and mission of the CISO are evolving – resilience is critical
* Addressing the cybersecurity skills gap and the future of work
* How CISOs should embrace innovation to stay ahead of cyber threats

Through keynote lightning talks, case uses, panels, think tanks, fireside chats and during the evening networking receptions, dinners, and a boat cruise, we got to know and challenged ideas. We heard what plans CISOs are making, what drives them and where their journeys are heading as we benchmarked cybersecurity strategies, tactics and tools with CISO peers and we experience unrivalled learning and engagement.  The journeys, predictions and game-changers span AI, IoT, metaverse, cloud, quantum computing, cyber geopolitics, supply chain, detection, response and recovery, human security, culture, privacy, robotics, SOC – during this two and half day interactive programme.

  • Inspirational – Connect, innovate and leave reinvigorated for positive action! Sit with peers who you know are largely facing a similar set of risks and opportunities
  • Trusted International Community – Benchmark in a trusted environment with fellow CISOs, senior practitioners and business, risk, technology luminaries
  • Future Facing – Learn from business executives, risk managers and technology luminaries outside the security ‘echo chamber’
