Driving Business Value and Building Cyber Defense

Thank You for a Great CSO50 Conference + Awards

We were so excited to be back in person and bring the CSO50 Conference & Awards to the East Coast for the very first time! It all happened, September 19th, through September 21st, at the scenic MGM National Harbor Hotel, conveniently located in the metro DC area.

In addition to recognizing this year’s CSO50 award winners, and our CSO Hall of Fame inductees, we gave attendees exclusive access to career and operational advice from the profession’s top thought-leaders and drivers of change. Only CSO could deliver an action-packed agenda like this, and it was all hosted by our Senior Vice President and Managing Director Worldwide, Bob Bragdon.

Sessions that Enlightened
and Informed

We Celebrated the achievements of our CSO50 Award Winning Organizations

We gave an inside look at where CSOs found success managing today’s information security risks.

2022 Sessions Include:

Managing Risk When Heightened Security is Always On

The Heavy Lifting of Zero Trust

What to Do When Things Go Wrong

Bringing Adversary Engagement to Your Organization

The CSO Event
of the Year!

Today’s security executives aren’t just your average superhero. Sure, you fight (cyber)criminals— but you do so much more! Responsible for risk, you build strategies to mitigate the impact. Responsible for technology, you stay on top of the latest emerging trends. And accountable for budget, you strive to make sure your initiatives don’t just check a box; they provide business value from the outset.

If you were looking to connect with other like-minded crusaders, you found your people at the CSO50 Conference and Awards. Over an action-packed 3 days, attendees:

— Met hundreds of peers and industry leaders who know what it takes to be today’s top security executive
— Heard from award winners who cleared our high hurdle of demonstrable business value in their projects, from AI and application security to zero trust
— Learned how to tackle challenges, including aligning opinionated stakeholders to one vision, driving user awareness and adoption, measuring performance, aggregating data, and so much more
— Met peers for candid conversations
— Took away insights, relationships, and inspiration that will support them and their team through the challenging months

“CSO continues to be an engaging and
important medium that gets me the
information I need, when I need it, and
at the right level.” – Global CSO, TikTok
