Black Hat Executive Summit

Tuesday, December 8, 2020

Black Hat Executive Summit offers CISOs and other cybersecurity executives an opportunity to hear from a variety of industry experts who are helping to shape this next generation of information security strategy. The program dissects the latest technologies designed to stay ahead of sophisticated adversaries and provide a peek into future platforms; we'll outline the next-level skills and strategies CISOs need to bolster their relevance and we'll discuss the latest techniques for maintaining a proactive approach to data protection.

For CISOs and executives looking to transform from a mere manager of information into a corporate champion of business growth, it's imperative to stay on top of the latest insight. That journey begins at the Black Hat Executive Summit.
