Espresso with CISO Experts: Emerging Technology Trends for Today’s Cybersecurity Leaders

Description
Emerging Technology Trends for Today’s Cybersecurity Leaders
The pace of technological change has never been faster. For cybersecurity leaders, that speed brings opportunity, risk, and increasing pressure to make the right strategic bets. From AI-driven security operations and cloud-native architectures to zero trust, identity fabric, and next-generation threat detection, today’s emerging technologies are redefining how organizations defend themselves.
This month’s Espresso with Experts brings members together for a focused, peer-level discussion on the technologies shaping the future of the cybersecurity landscape.
In this one-hour virtual session, security leaders will explore:
- Which emerging technologies are actually gaining traction in real enterprise environments
- Where hype is outpacing security, governance, and regulatory readiness
- How new tools are changing risk management, compliance, and board-level reporting
- What security leaders should be testing, piloting, or monitoring over the next 12 to 24 months
This is not a vendor pitch. It is a candid conversation among practitioners who are navigating these changes in live production environments. Participants will share what is working, what is not, and what they are seeing across industries.
Espresso with Experts is designed for cybersecurity leaders who want practical insight without the noise. You bring your experience. Your peers bring theirs. Together, the group builds a clearer picture of where security leadership must go next.
Join us for a high-value discussion that will help you cut through the hype and make smarter technology decisions for your organization.
