The ITWeb Security Summit CISO Retreat, held at the picturesque De Hoek Country Hotel in Magaliesburg, South Africa, is an exclusive gathering tailored for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and senior security executives. This unique retreat provides a platform for leaders to step away from their operational responsibilities and engage in forward-looking discussions focused on strategy, leadership development, and peer exchange. In an era of complex cyber threats, including AI-driven attacks and ransomware, the retreat facilitates closed-door discussions and collaborative roundtables where participants can explore pressing challenges such as balancing security with business agility, securing hybrid work environments, and managing third-party risks.
