Pulse Conferences hosted the 2nd edition of CISO 360 Asia & Oceania, a regional Conference in Singapore in September 2022. CISOs, CTOs, CIOs, technology, risk and governance practitioners and leaders from across the APAC and Oceania region and beyond gathered to benchmark progress and approaches to cybersecurity challenges.

An engaging and immersive experience where participants was given the time and space to debate and bond with peers and to have those nuanced conversations. This was the ideal opportunity to meet CISO peers to engage, learn and benchmark security priorities – remembering that someone in this room will have the answer to your biggest challenge!

Led ‘by, with and for’ CISO/CSOs, from across industry sectors, the international speaker panel included leading CISOs from across the Asia and Oceania region, from around the world and from across industry sectors to share their knowledge and experiences.  Leading influential community of C-suite and senior cybersecurity executives for quality face-to-face and interactive engagement.

With a focus on leadership strategies, the programme provided critical updates on the emerging opportunity and risk horizon, role expectations and business technologies within the years to come, including AI, machine learning, automation, cloud, mobility and security.
