Cybersecurity leaders today face a vastly different world to their predecessors, with new threats and adversaries appearing seemingly daily. Meanwhile, ongoing disruption, emerging technologies, in particular AI, and geopolitical events continue to transform the cybersecurity landscape. Added to that, the sheer size, complexity and interconnectivity of IT systems and platforms, often spanning multiple continents, enables bad actors to inflict even more damage than ever before. CISO’s today will need to be equipped with a unique set of skills and capabilities to steer their organisations through these rough seas towards safer shores. And they’ll need to master the very latest tools and ways of working to guarantee success.

Join us on Tuesday 10 December 2024 at BAFTA for a lively evening of insight, discussion and celebration, in partnership with Tanium. With the help of some of the UK’s most visionary cybersecurity leaders, we’ll gather to recognise the pivotal role of the CISO in today’s enterprise. Over the course of a drinks reception, interactive panel and discussions over dinner, we’ll come together to showcase the innovative ways cybersecurity leaders are:

  • Reshaping how they’re working alongside IT operations and fostering relationships with the C-suite
  • Leveraging the latest tools and technology to transform threat detection, monitoring and response
  • Empowering people to embed a resilient and cyber-secure culture across the entire enterprise
