Today’s threat landscape is more aggressive, targeted, and unrelenting than ever. Traditional perimeter defence and reactive tactics are no longer enough,  and CISOs know it. That’s why a new approach is gaining momentum: active cyber defence, where deception, and deep intelligence are wielded as strategic weapons.

In this confidential, closed-door roundtable, you will join a select group of CISOs to dive into real-life active cyber strategies reshaping the modern security playbook. Together, we’ll go beyond the hype and share hard-earned insights into:

  • Crafting honeypots and deception networks that waste attackers’ time and reveal their methods

  • Using breadcrumbs and fake data to trace adversaries and turn the tables

  • Leveraging threat intel and behaviour monitoring to anticipate attacks before they happen

  • Running red teaming and bug bounty programs that keep your defences sharp and attackers guessing

  • Navigating the legal and ethical grey zones of proactive defence — without crossing the line

  • Structuring agile, cross-functional teams capable of responding with speed, creativity, and precision

 
WHY ATTEND?

Because passive defence is no longer an option. This is your opportunity to learn directly from peers who have tested — and challenged — conventional models. Share what works. Debate what doesn’t. And walk away with actionable ideas to lead your security strategy from a position of strength, not just resilience.

Active defence isn’t about breaking the rules. It’s about rewriting them, on your terms.
