Walk away from this peer-led program with new connections and with actionable insights.
Evanta facilitates exclusive, C-level communities by personally qualifying and understanding the priorities, challenges and interests of each member.
Our selective approach maintains the high quality of the network and ensures top-level discussions with peers from the world’s leading organizations.
At the Upcoming Chicago CISO Inner Circle, Tony Lauro, Director, Security Technology and Strategy for Akamai Technologies, will lead a panel discussion on “Security that IT Loves – Building Synergy Between CISOs, IT, and Business.” – here’s a preview.
At the Global CISO Executive Summit, Sanjay Beri, CEO & Co-Founder of Netskope, and Mike Uster, CIO & CTO of ManTech International, will lead a keynote on a different approach to securing and optimizing infrastructure. They will discuss how and why it simply isn’t enough for organizations to improve or add onto existing security and network tools – here’s a preview.
So far this year, AI and generative AI are hot topics in Evanta communities, regardless of a C-level executive’s role or region. Recently, we surveyed our members on AI adoption, asking how they are progressing on implementing AI, what their roadblocks are, and what their current sentiments are – here’s what they reported.
