Joint Closing

Vectra AI is bringing together a select group of CISOs and senior security leaders for an exclusive dinner in Basel.

The evening is designed around open peer-to-peer exchange: sharing experiences, discussing best practices, and learning from one another in a small, trusted setting under the Chatham House Rule.

No presentations. No sales agenda. Just candid conversations about the challenges and priorities security leaders are navigating today.

Discussion Topics

There is no fixed agenda. The following topics are intended as conversation starters, with the discussion shaped by the interests, experiences, and current priorities of those around the table.

From Prevention to Cyber Resilience
How are CISOs evolving their security strategies as prevention alone is no longer enough? What is working in practice, and how are expectations from boards and executive leadership changing?

AI: Opportunity, Risk – or Both?
From AI governance and shadow AI to the use of AI in the SOC: How can security teams enable innovation without losing visibility and control?

The CISO Confidence Gap
Do security leaders have the information and context they need to make confident decisions? Where do blind spots remain – and do more tools and more data actually lead to better security?

Security Operations: Signal over Noise
How are security teams identifying the attack signals that matter, prioritizing effectively, and focusing their teams on the threats that pose the greatest risk?

Topics such as OT security, the agentic SOC, and evolving board priorities may also become part of the conversation, depending on what matters most to the group.

Your Perspective Matters

What security challenge is top of mind for you right now?

When registering, you can share a topic or challenge you would particularly value discussing with fellow CISOs and security leaders. Your input will help us shape the conversation around the priorities of the group.

An Evening of Genuine Peer Exchange

Attendance is intentionally limited to create an open, trusted environment for meaningful conversation and exchange among peers.
