This years’ 8th CISO 360 Global Congress was hosted on 19 – 21 June 2024 at the wonderful Hôtel Dieu InterContinental Marseille in France.

Driving Resilience and Trust in Cybersecurity: The CISO Life Toolkit for Value Creation

Marseille played host to strategic conversations with CISOs and cybersecurity luminaries from around the world in the summer of 2024.

Video highlights from this years’ 8th CISO 360 Global Congress

Created and hosted by Pulse Conferences, the 8^th CISO 360 Global Congress brought together CISOs and international cybersecurity leaders for a veritable show-stopper.  We heard what plans CISOs are making, what drives them and where their journeys are heading as we benchmark cybersecurity strategies, tactics and tools. We will challenge ideas during  case stories, journeys, fireside chats, table think tanks, and of course the infamous CISO 360 Roundtable (19 June afternoon opener!). We made professional friends during the many evening networking receptions, dinners, tour by boat and cultural experiences that were an integral part of the CISO 360 Congress experience!

Key themes 2024 included:

* AI, Quantum, Crypto 360: Pace and preparations
* Collaboration 360: How can we work better together
* Evolution 360: CISO purpose, mission and scaleup
* Resilience 360: Holistic security, intelligence, threat landscape and mitigations

Speakers included.

“The people are amazing. CISO 360 gathers the best of the best – the organisations that came here, the speakers are fantastic, the vendors that we can speak to about the products are great. It’s really hard to say no to the Pulse team. I absolutely love them. The talks have been fantastic and piqued my interest. The most interesting contact has been about management, case studies, third-party risk, and AI. The camaraderie that is achieved through the social networking events is fantastic. We went out on the catamaran and, to be honest, I thought I was going to be sick, mainly because of the boat, but it was still so good. Afterwards the meal sponsored by Qualys was fantastic. These are the smallest things that Pulse do for individuals such as myself that they don’t need to do, but they go out of their way just to make us feel comfortable, especially in a new city as well I’ve never been to before, so massive thanks for that.”
Ibraheem Khan, VP Information Security EMEA, at a financial services firm

“I’ve really enjoyed the conference, I’ve enjoyed meeting people, learning more about what’s top of mind for CISOs and in the cybersecurity space. The sessions have all been great. There is a great CISO 360 community, it’s very tightly knit – we talk to each other a lot, share a lot of experiences, and that’s fantastic.”
Dr. Alex Jaimes, Chief Scientist and SVP of AI, Dataminr

“It’s been fantastic to see innovation and start-ups feature at CISO 360 for the first time. It’s good to see that the CISOs are genuinely interested and coming to talk to us. One of the big pluses of this event is that it’s not all jam packed into one day, and there isn’t that intense hard sell aspect that you typically see, which obviously puts people off. It’s been really good to take things more gently to get to know CISOs and vice versa.”
Gary Penolver, CTO, Quod Orbis
