If you lead security in Financial Services, this is your room — filled with people who live the same reality you do and talk about it. 

When we launched CISO New York last September, the response from teams at HSBC, Wells Fargo, and the New York City Council was: “This feels built for us.” “You don't usually hear these conversations on stage.” “This is a community.” 

On February 26, 2026, we’re bringing that same energy, but this time, it’s Financial Services. 
  • The new attack patterns targeting financial data right now
  • Securing cloud + multi-cloud when nothing is standardized
  • AI that cuts SecOps noise instead of adding more
  • The fraud and insider threats everyone is feeling, but no one is openly talking about
You don’t need another event filled with long lectures and generic sessions- you need the community, and the formats that give you answers. 
  • Ask-Me-Anything —unfiltered answers from veteran CISOs
  • Yes / No / Maybe —fast gut checks on the topics no one agrees on
  • Quick Wins or Just Noise — tools + tactics that your peers say work
  • Live Poll Debate — the entire room votes in real time
  • The CISO Challenge Hackathon — one live cyber crisis, solved together

What you'll get out of the event

Our Key Themes for 2026

Cyber & Business Reality

Incident & Crisis Management

We’re all under board and regulator pressure to balance growth with resilience. This theme is about how CISOs are navigating risk appetite, culture, and compliance without slowing the business down.

Not just playbooks. Real case studies on ransomware, insider threats, and fraud under regulator scrutiny. How CISOs are embedding detection, response, and recovery so boards, customers, and auditors trust the plan.

AI, Fraud & Emerging Risk

Cloud & DevSecOps

AI is moving faster than policies. From AI-enabled fraud to liability questions, we’ll share what’s working (and what isn’t) in managing the upside of AI without opening new front doors to attackers.

Every Financial Services firm is multi-cloud, buried in tools, and under audit pressure. We’ll tackle zero trust, automation, tool fatigue, and how teams are proving resilience with evidence regulators will actually accept.

Threat Intelligence & Resilience

Culture & Teams

The threat landscape doesn’t stop. Here we cut through noise: what intel is actually shaping decisions, how peers are proving resilience to regulators, and what “maturity” really looks like in practice.

Burnout, retention, succession planning — it’s not just a people problem, it’s a resilience problem. This theme dives into how CISOs are building (and keeping) teams strong under constant pressure.

why-icon_gradient-3

Why attend?

Because this isn’t a typical conference. It’s a community space built for CISOs in financial services, shaped by your peers, not vendors. Here, the conversations you normally only have behind closed doors happen live: board pressure, regulator demands, AI-driven fraud, burnout, cloud chaos. You’ll leave with insights that are raw, practical, and tested -not theory, not sales pitches.

who-icon_gradient-3

Who will be there?

The FS cybersecurity circle: CISOs, CROs, CTOs, CIOs, Heads of Cloud & DevSecOps, Compliance and Fraud leaders. Senior decision-makers who carry the same weight you do - board reporting, regulatory scrutiny, resilience proof. An invite-only group that values honesty over polish and community over noise. If you’re part of the FS security leadership, this is your room.
