Drive strategic success through InfoSec and business synergy

Launched as CISO Auckland in 2022, CISO New Zealand has grown into one of the flagship annual gatherings for the country’s senior InfoSec decision-makers. 

We’re proud to bring together some of the brightest minds from across Wellington, Christchurch, Auckland, and beyond to tackle key challenges and share critical learnings.

Expect lively discussions and case studies designed to empower senior leaders to align cyber security frameworks with business priorities and drive strategic outcomes. Be part of the event that sets the cyber security agenda — from resilience strategies and GRC to threat response and emerging technologies.
