Making Security and Business Work Together
When we launched CISO New York in 2025, the feedback was the same everywhere: “Finally, an event that felt built for us.” Not another conference, but a community.
In February 2026, we’re bringing that same spirit to Financial Services, where CISOs face the hardest pressure: regulators breathing down your neck, boards demanding answers, AI-driven fraud, ransomware calls in the middle of the night, and cloud sprawl that can shut a business down.
That’s why the agenda runs on two tracks: The CISO Boardroom and The DevSecOps & Cloud Lab. One tackles leadership and resilience. The other focuses on proving security in practice. Both are built to move past the slides and get into the conversations CISOs rarely have in public.
And we’re not repeating the same old format. Sessions are fast, candid, and practical:
- Ask-Me-Anything → direct questions to veteran CISOs.
- Yes / No / Maybe → quick pulse-checks on the toughest issues.
- Quick Wins or Just Noise → peers cutting through the hype.
- Live Poll Debate → the room forced to take a side.
- The Closing Hackathon → one live crisis, solved together.
This isn’t about polished decks or sales pitches. It’s about a trusted circle of FS security leaders being honest about what it really takes to handle the pressure.
If you’re leading security in FS, you’ll want to be in this room.
