Who we are

Built by the people in the seat.


A nonprofit community dedicated to empowering Chief Information Security Officers and cybersecurity leaders in navigating today’s complex digital landscape.

Our mission is to connect professionals, share knowledge, and foster collaboration to strengthen cybersecurity across industries.

Here you will find a trusted space to exchange insights, access valuable resources, and work together to solve the challenges of tomorrow. Whether you are looking to grow professionally, lead transformative initiatives, or simply stay ahead in the ever-evolving cybersecurity world, The CISO Network is here to support you.

Join us as we build a stronger, more resilient future — together.

What makes us different

A great deal of what is offered to security executives is, on inspection, a sales channel. Conferences sell floor space. Communities sell access. Research is commissioned by the vendor whose product it happens to recommend.

We are structured to avoid that. We are a nonprofit. Our funding comes from members and from sponsors who accept that sponsorship does not buy a seat in the room. Sessions are unrecorded and unattributed. Nobody is selling anything to anyone.

What is left is the thing that is genuinely hard to find: a dozen people who have the same job you do, saying what actually happened.
