In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the ability to harness accurate and timely threat intelligence is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with adversaries constantly refining their tactics to exploit vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure. As CISOs, we are tasked not only with defending against these threats but also with anticipating and mitigating them before they can cause harm. This requires a strategic approach to threat intelligence—one that is proactive, actionable, and deeply integrated into our overall cybersecurity strategy.
We invite you to join this exciting new CISO 360 Roundtable with CISO and cybersecurity peers to explore the critical role that threat intelligence plays in today’s cybersecurity landscape. This roundtable will be co-led by Reliance Cyber and Google, who have partnered to bring together their extensive expertise and insights. Together, they will provide a unique perspective on how threat intelligence can empower CISOs to detect and respond to threats more effectively, safeguarding their organisations from potentially devastating attacks.
As part of the group discussion, participants will be granted access to privileged insights from Google’s vast data troves, revealing emerging threat vectors, evolving trends, and real-world case studies that have shaped the current cybersecurity landscape with one of the foremost experts in the field, Dr. Jamie Collier, the leading Threat Intelligence Advisor at Google Europe.
This is a rare opportunity to engage directly with a thought leader who is shaping the future of cybersecurity, offering unparalleled perspectives that can drive strategic decision-making. CISOs will share their experiences in managing digital infrastructure – with and without threat intelligence and exchange stories of how good threat intelligence has helped stave off attacks.
Key talking points include:
- The value of threat intelligence: How are we gaining actionable insights?
- Current challenges in managing digital infrastructure.
- Success stories: How has threat intelligence prevented catastrophe?
- Best practices for integrating threat intelligence into your cybersecurity strategy.
Kindly sponsored by Reliance Cyber and hosted by Pulse Conferences, you will gain valuable takeaways for integrating intelligence into your cybersecurity strategy. Enjoy a top culinary experience at the Corinthia, a collaborative atmosphere and the great company of Chief Information Security Officers.
Yours sincerely,
Team Pulse
