ABOUT THE EVENT

Cybercrime Magazine will be on-location at One World Trade Center in New York City on Thurs. Dec. 13, 2018, filming one-on-one interviews with CISOs as part of our “Ask The CISO” series (see one of our CISO interviews here). This is a unique opportunity for CISOs to demonstrate thought leadership on a variety of important topics.

Our Deputy Editor, Georgia Reid, and our film crew will be available for impromptu shorter interviews, and to capture special moments. Georgia has emerged as a leading cybersecurity journalist after her interviews with top cybersecurity CEOs, CISOs, women in cybersecurity, and various other important figures in our industry.

There are no “vendor pitches” or exhibitors at this private CISO gathering.
