As the digital and industrial worlds collide and converge, CISO’s face unprecedented challenges in understanding and managing cyber-physical risk. Traditional approaches honed in IT environments often fall short when applied to the complex, interconnected ecosystems of operational technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) systems. This moderated discussion will explore how security leaders can rethink risk management frameworks, enhance visibility into cyber-physical threats, and adopt new strategies to safeguard critical infrastructure. Join industry peers to discuss the evolving role of the CISO in this emerging risk landscape and how to lead your organization toward greater resilience.

I cannot thank you enough for putting up such a fabulous show. I genuinely applaud all the efforts that goes to pull off such an event. Plus the presentation format of the speakers, demos, and forums by AWS and Oracle was absolutely engaging. It was one of the best industry-led technical expositions I attended in recent times. Hats off!

Attended the C-Vision International CISO Dinner last night and to sum it up in one word, 'Wow!' Incredibly well-moderated discussion and investigation into different viewpoints. I appreciate the openness of all the attendees to share their unique experiences and perspectives. I learned a lot, had a ton of fun, and look forward to further events like this.

The day was awesome and the evening exceeded my wildest expectations. I've never been to a dinner like that, where a table with 12 CIOs/CISOs was focused exclusively on Netskope. Just fantastic. Thank you for including me.
