Reimagining Corporate Security and the Role of CSOs

Threat spectrum continues to evolve. The Covid disruption of three years has been followed by high intensity wars in Europe and Middle East which have fundamentally altered security and energy architecture. Climate change continues to be the most omnipresent threat of our times. Tech developments and disruptions continue unabated. Geo-political developments continue to reconfigure global supply chains.

The panel will discuss:

  • How is the threat spectrum evolving
  • How will the evolving threats, changing business models, reconfiguring supply chains and pivot to sustainability impact the role of CSOs
  • How do CSOs re-imagine corporate security to make it (from a manpower-dependent and reactive) a business-relevant, intel-led, tech-enabled, employee-friendly and cost-conscious function?
  • How are the expectations of business leaders from their CSOs changing?
  • What do CSOs need to do to become more relevant to their organizations, ie, how to get a seat at the high table?
  • While technology continues to be an ally, overdependence on it can be a liability. Do you agree? In your opinion is it the person behind the machine that finally matters?
  • Your learnings as CSOs and signature projects being undertaken
  • Advice to young professionals looking to build a career in corporate security
