The Evolving Role of the CISO: Leadership, Influence & Resilience

17 Sep 2025

Gaylord Texan Resort, Dallas, TX

As the threat landscape grows more complex and cyber risk becomes a boardroom issue, the role of the CISO is transforming. Today’s security leaders are not only technical experts—they’re strategic business enablers, communicators, and cultural change agents.

Join this executive roundtable for a candid, peer-driven discussion on how CISOs are navigating their expanding responsibilities. We’ll explore how CISOs are building influence across the C-suite, balancing innovation with risk, and fostering resilient teams in the face of constant change.

Discussion topics will include:

• Earning and maintaining influence at the executive and board level
• Managing burnout and resilience in high-pressure security roles
• Aligning security strategy to business outcomes
• Building cross-functional partnerships to drive cyber readiness
• What’s next: evolving skillsets and the future of the CISO role

This session is designed for CISOs and senior security leaders who want to share real-world insights, exchange leadership strategies, and walk away with actionable ideas to strengthen their impact.
