CSO50 Conference & Awards 2023 | Foundry | 2 October 2023 | We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort, 10438 N Fort McDowell Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85264, USA

In addition to recognizing this year’s CSO50 award winners, and our CSO Hall of Fame inductees, we will give attendees exclusive access to career and operational advice from the profession’s top thought leaders and drivers of change. Only CSO can deliver such an action-packed agenda.

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 are looking to connect with other like-minded crusaders, you will find your people at the awards. Over an action-packed 3 days, attendees:

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