13-05-2025 15:55 13-05-2025 16:55 Europe/Madrid The Role of the Modern CISO It is an interesting time to be working in Cybersecurity. Technology is advancing so rapidly that regulations struggle to keep up. Many of the most exciting developments such as enhanced connectivity, edge-based computing, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing, come with a potentially off-setting risk of security vulnerability. This panel will feature Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) from a range of end-user companies, identifying and exploring what they perceive to be the greatest opportunities (and threats) to this industry, and how their companies are adapting to this rapidly changing environment.
