The Role of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) The role of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is no longer confined to securing the network perimeter. As organisations become more digitally connected and data-driven, the CISO’s responsibilities have expanded far beyond traditional security measures. Today’s CISO must not only defend against cyber threats but also enable the business to innovate securely, manage complex regulatory environments, and instill a culture of trust across the organisation. This event will explore the evolving role of the CISO as a strategic leader who balances security with business enablement. As digital transformation accelerates, how can CISOs align their security strategies with organisational goals, ensure compliance, and lead their teams in the fight against increasingly sophisticated threats? Key Discussion Points: From Gatekeeper to Strategic Partner: How CISOs can shift from being seen as barriers to innovation to becoming key enablers of business agility and transformation through security. Balancing Risk and Innovation: Learn how top CISOs navigate the delicate balance between mitigating risk and supporting the organisation’s need to innovate and scale in a secure environment. Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC): Explore how CISOs are managing an increasingly complex regulatory landscape, ensuring compliance while still driving business objectives forward. Building a Security-First Culture: Practical strategies for CISOs to foster a culture where security is embedded into every part of the business, from boardroom discussions to frontline operations. CISO as Crisis Manager: How to prepare for and lead your organisation through major cybersecurity incidents. From ransomware attacks to data breaches, we’ll discuss how today’s CISO is as much a crisis manager as they are a strategist. Why You Should Attend: As a CISO, your role is evolving faster than ever before. This event is designed to provide you with actionable insights into how to embrace your expanded responsibilities while keeping your organisation safe and secure. Whether you’re focused on aligning security with business goals, navigating regulatory challenges, or leading in times of crisis, this event will equip you with the strategies to lead the next era of cybersecurity.

Carrefour Responds to Security Threats 3x Faster With Splunk Cloud Platform
Discover how Carrefour strengthened its global security posture and accelerated digital innovation by adopting Splunk Cloud Platform. By centralizing data and security monitoring across multiple regions, Carrefour’s Security Operations Center (SOC) now detects and responds to threats three times faster ensuring customers enjoy a safe, reliable, and connected shopping experience across all channels.
What happens when digital growth outpaces legacy defences?
As one of the world’s largest retailers, Carrefour is trusted by millions of customers across Europe, South America and Asia. Yet with every new online store, app feature and “click and collect” service, the pressure on its ageing infrastructure grew. To protect its expanding digital ecosystem and maintain customer trust, Carrefour turned to Splunk Cloud Platform transforming its approach to security, insight and innovation.
With Splunk, Carrefour’s Security Operations Centre (SOC) now detects and responds to threats three times faster, all while freeing up resources to enhance the customer experience.
“Splunk Cloud Platform allows us to refocus on our most important task: ensuring customers always have a safe shopping experience.”— Romaric Ducloux / SOC Analyst / Carrefour
Carrefour’s ambition to deliver a unified, multi-channel shopping experience brought with it new layers of digital complexity. Customers expected the same convenience whether shopping online, via mobile or in store but behind the scenes, security data was fragmented across legacy systems and regions.
The SOC team spent hours maintaining infrastructure and stitching together alerts from disconnected tools. Each system spoke a different language, making it difficult to detect, prioritise or investigate threats in real time.
“We had plenty of data, but not enough visibility,” recalls Ducloux. “Our analysts were managing systems instead of protecting them.”
Carrefour chose Splunk Cloud Platform to unify its global security operations under one intelligent, cloud-based system. Splunk now ingests and analyses logs from every corner of Carrefour’s environment from antivirus software to endpoint detection and response tools automatically raising alerts and opening tickets when anomalies arise.
“Splunk Cloud Platform handles all our logs it’s the cornerstone of our security operations,” says Ducloux.
By moving to the cloud, Carrefour offloaded the management of infrastructure to Splunk, allowing its SOC analysts to focus on higher-value tasks such as threat analysis, forensics and prevention. The result: a more agile, proactive and resilient security posture.
With Splunk Cloud Platform, Carrefour has redefined how it protects its customers and its business.
Three-times faster incident response through centralised, automated alerting.
Real-time visibility into security events across all channels and markets.
Smarter decision-making, powered by actionable data and analytics.
More time for innovation, enabling Carrefour to enhance digital services securely.
The SOC team can now intervene before incidents escalate and, when they do occur, understand precisely what happened and how to prevent a recurrence.
“We get so much value from Splunk,” says Ducloux. “It helps us learn from every incident and strengthen our defences continuously.”
Splunk’s intuitive language and powerful analytics make it accessible not just to technical experts but also to business users. This shared visibility means the entire organisation can act swiftly and independently during a security event.
Using Splunkbase apps, Carrefour easily integrates new data sources and SaaS tools, supporting its ongoing digitisation strategy and its ambitious plan to triple e-commerce sales to €10 billion by 2026.
“Splunk gives us the confidence to innovate, to launch new digital features knowing our security foundation is strong,” adds Ducloux.
Carrefour’s partnership with Splunk has turned its security operations from reactive to predictive. With greater speed, scalability and insight, the company is now better equipped to protect its expanding digital ecosystem while continuing to deliver seamless, trusted shopping experiences worldwide.
“We’ll know we’ve succeeded when customers feel safe and confident wherever and however they shop,” says Ducloux.

Sharon Prior - CIO in transition - How Great Tech Leadership Begins with Business Thinking
The role of the CIO has evolved from managing systems to shaping outcomes: growth, resilience, and competitive edge are now won or lost in the technology arena. Today ’ s CIOs must balance stability with innovation, control costs while attracting scarce talent, and modernise legacy infrastructure while adopting emerging technologies.
As AI transitions from a specialised tool to an all-pervasive force, understanding its profound implications for our human lives is no longer merely academic but an urgent imperative for social well-being and strategic preparedness.
Geopolitical tensions have dominated the headlines for over two years now. In this context, the cyber threat landscape is also evolving rapidly. The protection and security of critical infrastructure – both physical and digital – is becoming increasingly important.
