CELEBRATING OUTSTANDING SWISS-BASED SECURITY LEADERS

For 2023 we have started a new initiative among our community activities in Switzerland and gathered together the most foresightful and expert jury who will be responsible for deciding the winners of the first-ever SWISS CISO AWARDS.

The SWISS CISO AWARDS are not only a key part of the high-quality content of the Global Cyber Conference, but they are also being awarded to recognise and honour the outstanding achievements of leading CISOs who have committed their careers to enhance the information security of their respective companies or organisations. It is important for a broader audience to start to understand that cybersecurity must be built within companies from a very early stage. Therefore, CISOs must build alliances with many non-tech / non-cyber / non-security people and must rely on their support.
