Elegant setting, congenial company, lively conversation, left wanting more. Physical and Cyber are closer than we think. But the future is digital.
Mike Croll, GSA, TARS, United Kingdom
Welcome to CSO 360 Resilience Roundtables!
Organisational resilience remains a strategic imperative, growing in importance as businesses face threats from cybercrime, climate change, severe weather and political instabilities. Security Professionals must not only protect their employees but also position the organisation itself to remain resilient. Learn real-world advice, first-hand insights on the challenges we face and share strategies on how we can overcome them.
Key talking points include:
- Best practices and lessons learned in developing a robust and reliable resilience plan
- New perspectives of organisational resilience and business continuity in a hybrid working environment
- The complex process of enhancing/connecting digital and physical security and safety throughout your business

Thanks for organising the event. The format was really great from the welcome drinks, the roundtable discussion during the dinner, as well as the location and the variety of guests. I learned about the importance of involving HR and legal teams during sensitive security decisions/procedures (e.g. personal information). I was also interested in the discussion around the importance of communication, company culture, and national travellers. Finally, How to recover from a crisis as well as the response.
Davide Davolio, Regional Security Specialist, Uber, The Netherlands
Insightful discussion across a range of topics conducted by experienced and senior level security professionals. And at the Savoy; a real treat! Interesting to see how others divide the CISO and CSO responsibilities and the issues they have.
Charles Page Director, Global Safety and Security, Palladium Group, United Kingdom
We had a great roundtable discussion where we shared our ideas and learned from each other’s experiences. I’d like to thank the organizers and moderators for making it happen. Being part of this discussion was really helpful. We got to hear different perspectives and connect with some really smart people in our field. I’m excited about more discussions like this in the future. I really enjoyed talking about how companies can take care of their employees’ well-being and also handle the challenge of balancing personal privacy with business security.
