Our CISO members are top security executives within their companies and organizations. A majority come from Fortune 2000+ organizations and healthcare and educational institutions. Read more about membership criteria on our Member page.
We host meetings in each of our 23 Chapter cities seven times annually, for a total of 160 Chapter meetings. This includes custom events.
Roundtables take place in 23 Chapter cities across the country, from our Mid-Atlantic chapter in Washington, D.C. to our Bay Area chapter in Palo Alto.
Our CISOs are eager to consistently engage with their peers during our boardroom style events, hear thought leadership presentations from top cybersecurity vendors, and earn CPE credits. We see an average of 16+ CISOs per meeting across our 22 Chapters.
We allow a maximum of three cybersecurity vendors to sponsor each roundtable. Sponsors have the opportunity to listen-in during our CISOs’ candid conversations, give a 15 minute thought leadership presentation, and follow up with every CISO registered
In between our six annual roundtable series, we offer webinars from both well-established and emerging vendors. These webinars often tie in to the preceding or upcoming series and always offer the opportunity for our CISOs to learn about new solutions and earn CPEs.
We continuously hear that “Identity is the New Perimeter” and we need to adopt “Zero Trust Models.” Are these paradigms the next stages of evolution for our IAM programs? As we open up our applications and data to customers, clients, and other third parties, knowing who is accessing our data becomes even more critical to security. We must trust that the entity accessing our data is who they say they are and ensure they have only the appropriate access. And yet we must not interfere with the user experience. Multiple types of solutions have been offered from the vendor community in the IAM space to address specific pieces of the problem; some in response to regulations, and now, more often, to enhance user experience with as little friction as possible. In this series, we will discuss all things IAM and how to improve this critical program.
CISO Executive Network is a peer-to-peer professional organization serving information security, IT risk management, privacy, and compliance executives from large enterprises, including corporations, healthcare systems, universities, and utilities.

CISO Executive Network brings peers together for regularly scheduled in-person and virtual meetings. It provides a forum for industry sponsors to bring thought leadership to the Network members through interactive presentations at various events, from the organization's well-regarded breakfast roundtables to regional and special events.
