As digital transformation accelerates, organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) must not only defend against these threats but also integrate cybersecurity into broader business strategies.
The CISO Summit is a specialized event that unites high-ranking cybersecurity executives, professionals, subject matter experts, policy makers and thought leaders from diverse industries to engage in discussions, exchange insights, and foster collaboration concerning the most current trends, obstacles, and strategies within the cybersecurity domain.
Primarily, the summit focuses on tackling the ever-changing landscape of cyber threats, formulating resilient security approaches, and encouraging the exchange of critical information.
This summit has been organized with the aim of promoting the sharing of knowledge, facilitating networking opportunities, offering viable solutions, ensuring that security leaders remain well-informed and interconnected, and equipping them to effectively address the continually evolving cybersecurity landscape.
Furthermore, it seeks to raise awareness about the imperative need for companies to invest in their digital presence, the protection of their cyber space and the enhancement of the capabilities of their personnel.
The CISO Summit leverages its unique platform to facilitate dialogues that might be challenging to conduct within the confines of individual organizations.
This two-day event, combining thought leadership and networking sessions, serves as a valuable forum for attendees to establish significant professional connections, acquire knowledge, and propose solutions to combat the most recent cybersecurity challenges.
Target audience include: cybersecurity and risk board committee members, senior executives, CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, cybersecurity and IT professionals, risk, compliance and audit professionals, and aspiring CISOs.
This year’s CISO Summit is organized in collaboration with Innovare Limited, the Cyber Security Authority (CSA), The Economic and Trade Missions- Embassy of Israel, Institute of ICT Professionals Ghana (IIPGH), Kyte Global, Platview Technologies, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and Multithread ICT Solutions.
Attendees of previous summits testify to the benefits they derived from the summits, and this has led to the growth and prestige of the event over the last 3 years. The summit has served as a platform for continuous learning and networking with top experts and practitioners from across the globe.
A standout feature of the CISO Summit is its longstanding partnership with the Cyber Security Authority of Ghana.
Over the years, delegates have praised the CSA’s involvement, recognizing its efforts in using the summit as a platform to engage key industry stakeholders, providing insights into regulatory advancements, and outlining its vision for enhancing the cybersecurity ecosystems.
This year, the regulator will highlight Section 81 of the Cybersecurity Act 2020 (Act 1038), which establishes the Industry Forum.
Following its launch in October last year, the regulator will leverage the CISO Summit to outline the Forum’s objectives and emphasize the industry’s critical role in advancing cybersecurity in Ghana.
The third edition of the summit is slated for April 9th and 10th 2025 from 8 am each day at the Labadi beach Hotel, Accra under the theme “Proven Strategies For Global Cyber Executives: Maximizing Organizational Security And Efficiency”.
This year’s summit promises to deliver a cohort of renowned speakers, panelists and experts who will lead value packed and informative sessions consisting of high-level panel discussions, a fireside chat, an interactive workshop, B2B engagements, and networking opportunities.
Attendees can also look forward to sharing invaluable insights, and collaborating on the latest trends, challenges, and strategies in the field of cybersecurity.
