CISO 360 USA Chaired by
Marcus Alldrick
Digital Risk Management, Security and Compliance Advisor
Born at a very early age and growing up in a culture where cyber was a prefix for anything automated, menacing and malevolent (how history has a tendency of repeating itself), Marcus entered the world of Data Processing as it was known back then after graduating from university. Lured by the flashing console lights (it was also the disco era), the whirl of the magnetic tape and the click clack of the keypunch machine (TSO was still a dream), Marcus became a COBOL programmer, becoming prolific in Michael Jackson’s structured programming methodology (who would have known what future lay ahead for Michael).
Having moved into analysis and then data architecture Marcus became the first devolved Information Risk and Security Manager for Barclaycard. After seven years in that role he moved banks and became Head of Information Security for Abbey National plc, now Santander UK. After six years at Abbey and a move into consulting for a large UK utilities company Marcus joined KPMG as a Principal Advisor. Eighteen months later he joined Lloyd’s of London as its CISO and subsequently became its Head of Digital Risk Management and Compliance, also embracing responsibility for data protection and privacy, during his 10 years tenure there.
Having worked in IT for over 40 years, specialising in information risk, protection, security and compliance for the latter 27 years or so, Marcus decided to leave full-time corporate life and move to the South Coast of England in mid-2017, ever the seafaring Fisherman’s Friend. As well as being a proud member of the Pulse Conferences family, Marcus now provides pro bono advisory and volunteering services and is a guest lecturer at the University of Portsmouth.

Speaker Rules of Thumb when it comes to programming and presenting at CISO 360 USA!
- Familiarise with your Avatar. Walk onto the stage. Share your webcam on the presentation tool and turn to face the audience!
- A virtual presentation should be half the length of a physical one. Focus on the physical presence of your Avatar + your Face (webcam share) behind you. Why not dress the same as your Avatar 🙂
- Use PowerPoint sparingly.
- Give news. Hold back important announcements to specific points in your session
- Leave plenty of time for questions. The Chairman will facilitate Q&A from the “Raised Hands” in the room. Stay around after your session!
- Create a rhythm to your presentation. Create a flow between use of slides (if needed) or between yourself and fellow speakers if you are doing a joint session.
- Content rule of thumb – “say what you can’t show, show what you can’t say”. Use talking heads about the vision but employ videos or a slide for internal cases studies to demonstrate the latest innovation in your office or factory!
We welcome your input into shaping the agenda!
Our programmes are highly researched and “led by, for and with” C-Level practitioners who do the job day in and day out. Programmes are structured and organic to ensure that we remain agile to meet the very latest requirements!
