Our 2026 theme: Balancing Innovation, Resilience & Readiness.

The 7th CISO 360 and 2nd CSO 360 Middle East ran together on 10–11 November 2026 at the InterContinental Istanbul, Türkiye. CISOs, Chief Security Officers, and cybersecurity, corporate security, intelligence and investigations leaders from the GCC, the wider Middle East, Türkiye and EMEA met for practical discussion of business risk and resilience.

Over one and a half days, senior practitioners from across the region and internationally exchanged experience, challenged assumptions and explored practical approaches to geopolitical tension and regional conflict, rapid advances in AI, evolving cyber threats and increasingly complex supply chains. A recurring question was how prepared organisations are for the risks they can see, and for those they cannot.

“From the very first moment, the warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality of the welcoming staff made us feel truly valued. The event was exceptionally well organised, bringing together distinguished professionals and experts from diverse backgrounds. The insightful presentations, engaging discussions, and opportunities to exchange perspectives on emerging security challenges made the experience both enriching and inspiring. I particularly appreciated the integration of cyber and corporate security perspectives, as well as the opportunity to establish meaningful professional connections. My sincere thanks to Pulse Conferences, the speakers, moderators, and the entire organising team for such a memorable and valuable experience. I look forward to attending future events.”
Sertan Aşık, Retired Colonel, Turkish Armed Forces (Türkiye)
