“The event provides a great opportunity for the industry to identify ways in which issues can be better understood, as well as identify ways of protecting our businesses from new and emerging threats.
In my view, the challenge at the moment for CISOs is to embed their work into established corporate processes and to communicate regularly to board members in non-technical language. I look forward to hearing the thoughts of my fellow panelists and to a lively, thought-provoking debate.”

"I think it’s important that we strike a balance; yes it’s critical that we prevent data theft and cyber crime. As someone who has experience managing critical national infrastructure, I know something about the threat. However, I am also used to being rewarded as a board member for value creation and I wonder why some times information security cannot make life easier for colleagues.
The role of the CISO is critical and we are seeing them more and more in front of boards where there should be more focus on the simplicity of the solution than the risk.
I am looking forward to meeting CISOs who are passionate about their field and also their business."
CIO, formerly at Penguin Random House
"It’s really important that the CISO and CIO are kept separate in order for Information Security to be recognised more broadly within organisations and not just as an ‘IT issue’. It’s important that the CISO has the gravitas to advise the C-Suite whilst also being able to work at an operational level."
