Driving Resilience, Securing the Future: CISO Value Creation Tactics and Strategies

View highlights from the 8th CISO 360 Global Congress 2024

Germany is set to be the epicenter of strategic cybersecurity conversations in 2025, as we host the 9th CISO 360 Global Congress!

Created and hosted by Pulse Conferences, the 2025 CISO 360 Global Congress will once again bring together CISOs and international cybersecurity leaders for a truly dynamic and engaging event. Following the success of last year’s show-stopping gathering in Marseille, we are excited to continue pushing boundaries in cybersecurity thinking and innovation.

At this event, CISOs from across the globe will share their strategies, explore emerging trends, and benchmark the latest tactics and tools to confront the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape. We will challenge the status quo through case stories, journeys, fireside chats, table think tanks, and the ever-popular CISO 360 Roundtable. Evening networking events, cultural excursions, and exclusive dinners will create the perfect backdrop for building lasting professional relationships and strengthening the global cybersecurity community.

Key Themes for 2025 will include:

  • AI and quantum: Preparing for the next frontiers
  • Collaboration and innovation: Building alliances to tackle global cyber threats
  • Resilience and threat intelligence: Strengthening detection, response and recovery plans against a volatile threat landscape
  • CISO GRC toolkits and updates
  • Cyber geopolitics and supply chain security: Navigating risk in a connected world

The 2025 International Speaker Panel will feature an impressive line-up of CISOs, subject matter experts, and visionary leaders, including keynotes from some of the world’s foremost voices in cybersecurity. We’ll hear cutting-edge insights on AI, quantum computing, IoT/OT security, cyber geopolitics, cloud, human security, and much more.

Whether you’re looking to be inspired, innovate, or take immediate positive action, this congress will offer countless opportunities to connect with peers facing similar risks and opportunities. It’s a chance to:

  • Build Trusted Contacts – Collaborate with CISOs, senior practitioners, and global business leaders in a trusted environment.
  • Stay future-focused – Gain insights from risk managers and technology experts across sectors, helping you stay ahead of the curve.
  • Engage in collaborative projects – Participate in meaningful dialogues and projects with innovators, investors, and thought leaders from around the world.

Join us in Germany for this landmark event and prepare to leave inspired, connected, and ready to scale your cybersecurity plans!

“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. 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

“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

“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
