Drive business outcomes through strategic security leadership 

CISO New Zealand brings together Aotearoa’s InfoSec community to explore how leaders are navigating a new era of complexity, where technology boundaries are shifting, and traditional approaches to risk are being challenged. 

As AI adoption, SaaS ecosystems, and interconnected technology environments reshape how organisations operate, security leaders must rethink ownership, strengthen trust, and find practical ways to embed secure behaviours across the business. 

Through strategic discussions, real-world case studies and peer-led conversations, you'll share experiences, challenge assumptions and explore how to build resilient organisations in an increasingly complex environment.

Our key themes for 2026

Redrawing boundaries 

Govern and maintain accountability as AI, SaaS ecosystems and vendor-driven systems reshape ownership, visibility, and control across enterprise environments. 

Designing for secure behaviour 

Make the secure choice the easy choice through architecture, defaults, culture, and education that reduce over-reliance on individual judgement.  

Leadership under constraint 

Uncover how leaders prioritise, engage boards, and translate strategy into execution under sustained capacity and resource pressure. 

Trust, identity & invisible intent 

Redefine trust when identity spans humans, machines, and automation, and intent must be inferred from system behaviour that is increasingly hard to interpret and explain
