CISO Executive Forum
A confidential, moderated roundtable for security executives from mid-sized and large organizations. One topic, one hour, once a month, and an executive summary afterward.
Next session
The next topic is being set now. Security executives can request an invitation and we’ll send the details.
- 94% of attendees want to return
- 30+ published executive summaries
- 5,000+ security leaders receive the briefings
How it works
Each session takes one current challenge, such as zero trust, insider risk, AI threats or CMMC, and works through it with peers who have faced it. Discussions are confidential, and the executive summary shares the lessons without attributing anyone.
Ground rules
- Discussion is confidential
- No vendor sales pitches
- Positive, constructive input only
- Moderated so every voice is heard
- One hour, once a month, video on

What attendees say
I think the format works reasonably well. It is focused on a specific topic but allows for informal but relevant conversation. I enjoy how Tim actively moderates and engages the participants.
CISO Forum attendee
It was relevant and became clear to me that different industries and different maturity levels require sometimes even opposite approaches to build an efficient program.

Great topics. I like that you keep the groups relatively small. It allows us to each have input and also learn.
