"The CISO Executive Summit is the only event where I am able to sit with a person I don't know and be assured they are largely facing a similar set of opportunities and challenges within their own organization.”

Derek Benz, CISO
The Coca-Cola Company

"The peer interactions I get with the Evanta events are the best I’ve had in my career. These events help to establish a strong peer network that is regularly refreshed.”

Ken Athanasiou, Global CISO

"The format of the CISO Executive Summit absolutely lives up to its billing of being ‘by CISOs, for CISOs.’ The ability to collaborate with peers to discuss today’s issues is worth every minute.”
