We are delighted to present the Inaugural CSO 360 Middle East – part of the well-established global CSO 360 series created and hosted by Pulse Conferences!

This landmark event brings together Chief Security Officers, directors of corporate security, intelligence, investigations, and risk leaders from across the GCC and broader Middle East region. Together, we’ll share proven strategies to protect people, assets, profits, and reputations while exploring emerging trends and benchmarking cutting-edge tactics with a strong regional focus.

As threats evolve across geopolitics, technology, business, and economics, Directors of Security will share innovative approaches to securing international business and government sectors.

 Two Premier Security Events, One Powerful Location

Recognising that today’s security challenges transcend traditional boundaries, the inaugural CSO 360 Middle East will be strategically co-located with the established 6th CISO 360 Middle East.  This unique co-location offers participants unparalleled opportunities to gain insights across security, risk, and resilience disciplines. The CSO 360 Roundtable on 12 November will be converged with CISO 360 Roundtable.

Key Benefits for Security Leaders:

• Develop integrated security frameworks by breaking down silos between cyber and physical security to identify and address resilience gaps
• Expand your regional influence by forming valuable connections throughout the GCC and wider Middle East security community
• Gain region-specific insights into the unique security challenges facing organisations in the Gulf from both cyber and physical security perspectives
