“We want to create a blueprint for the one annual event that no CISO will want to miss. A concept that gets away from the stale formula of traditional exhibitions where salespeople leap on delegates to sell them their wares. “This will be an event that delivers enjoyable, stimulating discussions with peers and vendors, and that provides access to the most innovative security technology and industry visionaries of our time.”""
