Second Global Cyber Conference on September 14-15, 2023.

Swiss and international cybersecurity experts will meet at the second Global Cyber Conference at the Dolder Grand in Zurich on September 14-15, 2023. The Swiss CISO Awards will also be presented for the first time at the conference.

Focus topic Prioritizing cyber resilience.

The two-day conference, which will focus on prioritizing cyber resilience, will provide a unique platform for networking, knowledge sharing and collaboration to improve cyber resilience, organizers say. The conference program revolves around three sub-themes: Cyber Governance, Cyber Risk Management and Cyber Technologies. Each subtopic will be discussed in depth, providing attendees with comprehensive knowledge and tools needed to address the complex challenges of cybersecurity in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Speakers and participants from Europe, America and Asia will come from top companies such as Booking.com, Council of Europe Development Bank, EDGE Group, eBay, Equifax, ETH Zurich, IMD, Logitech Mars, Mastercard, Migros, Paramount Global, Philips, Pictet Group, Richemont Group, Saudi Arabian Government, Siemens, Spanish Government, SolarWinds, Swisscom, UAE Government, UBS, United Nations, US Army, Virgin Media O2, World Health Organization and many more. The conference will thus become a hub of the cybersecurity network - international attention is thus likely to be assured.

"We are very proud to be able to count on the support of some of the most renowned organizations in the fields of technology, cybersecurity and business, as well as on the academic research leadership of ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences and the St. Gallen School of Computer Science (HSG)," says Samir Aliyev, founder and CEO of the Swiss Cyber Institute, which has just received a Swiss Digital Shapers Award 2023 from Bilanz, Handelszeitung and digitalswitzerland. "In today's digital landscape, cybersecurity resilience has become a critical aspect of business strategy. It is essential for companies to mobilize a collective response to protect critical assets and limit systemic damage. Effective governance foundations are required to manage cyber risks, and enforcement is necessary to increase cyber resilience," emphasizes Samir Aliyev. "With this conference, we aim to provide a networking and learning platform for key decision makers to gain a common understanding of what needs to be done to strengthen cyber resilience."

Appreciate the role of chief information security officers

The inaugural Swiss CISO Awards, for which a panel of experts has been specially assembled, will also highlight the central role of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) in securing organizations against evolving cyber threats and recognize the exceptional achievements of Swiss-based security leaders who have dedicated their careers to strengthening the security of their companies or organizations. The awards ceremony will be an integral part of the Global Cyber Conference. A distinguished and expert jury will evaluate the nominations and select the winners.
