CISOs & The Board

Despite rising cyber threats, why are CISOs still struggling to secure the investment they need to drive real business impact? 

Join us to explore this

“Only 17% of CISOs report having sufficient budget to address their organisation’s current cybersecurity risks” 

Forbes, 2024

Globally, information security spending is projected to increase by 15% in 2025 (Gartner 2024). Yet, only 1 in 10 CISOs foresee a meaningful increase in their budgets to keep up with the rising cyber threat levels (Forbes 2024). And as a result, they're forced today to do more with less.

 

The problem is, CISOs are trapped in a vicious cycle. Without investment, they can’t deliver clear and measurable insights needed to act; without those insights, boards delay crucial funding decisions.

The CISOs that have broken this cycle are enabling growth and achieving business outcomes by 27% more than average (Deloitte 2024). So, how can you break the cycle and convince the board to move with greater speed and confidence in 2025?

An intimate dinner at
an iconic location 

The Ned, London / 6:30-9:30PM 

The Ned is an iconic City landmark where timeless elegance meets modern luxury. It's a distinctive setting for exceptional dining and meaningful conversation. "Located in the former Midland Bank HQ, designed by Sir Edwin ‘Ned’ Lutyens (with many original architectural details in place) it’s now a party palace – with restaurants, bars and a magnificent lobby offering live music. For downtime, expect beautiful bedrooms and a deeply relaxing spa. The Ned is a spectacle of a hotel" [The Telegraph].

The discussion was stimulating; the conversation flowed. My thanks also to your partner, who were brilliant.
