Thank you t everyone who participated in the CISO 360 Dinner Roundtable: Building Trust in our Defences.
Hosted by Pulse Conferences and kindly sponsored by Fidus Information Security, the discussion was co-steered by a leading CISO practitioner and of course by the roundtable guests themselves! This was the ideal opportunity for CISOs to benchmark their experiences on penetration and security testing, vulnerability management strategies – as well as to hear latest threat updates and stories from those who do the job of testing day in day out!
Talking Points:
- Comparing types of pen testing services that have we tried – what works, what doesn’t, pros and cons
- How to compromise buildings, networks and highly sensitive assets and, most importantly, how to defend against malicious attacks!
- How does a Red Team get quick wins?
- Updates on the current threat horizon – what to look out for
- What tried and tested vulnerability management strategies are CISO using?
- How can we protect our own clients and supply chains
Conducted under The Chatham House Rule, the discussions was co-chaired by Simon Mair, Head of Privacy and Information Security, RBC Brewin Dolphin alongside James Burns, Technical Director, Fidus Information Security. A Pulse Conferences representative was your Master of Ceremonies for the evening.
There is no cost to attend. Places around the table was limited and confirmations was done on a ‘first to confirm’ basis.
We look forward to hearing from you soonest.
Yours sincerely,
Team Pulse
