ISE Executive Testimonials

From the networking, to the keynotes, to the case studies, I will always leave an event with an idea on a new approach to try, a morsel to use in messaging, or an entirely new technology option that I hadn’t heard of before. The ISE® Programs are truly a ‘must attend’ for any security executive looking to better their programs, their teams, and their careers.

Over the years, ISE® Programs have provided the most useful and up-to-date resources and insights for information security executives. I’m a proud alum and have continuously refreshed my knowledge of the best practices to lead global security teams directly from the best leaders in the industry.

We are always amazed at the quality of your events! Yet again, we got to rub elbows with the titans of our security profession. These events are always classy, informative, and better yet: fun. There are few other gatherings in the world where security professionals can come together and truly collaborate, learn, and be recognized for their accomplishments. We always look forward to ISE® Programs and take part in the festivities.

The ISE® Programs consistently bring the best and brightest to an engaging and informative forum. Security professionals have an opportunity to learn from a highly skilled group of experts in the field and gain insights from peers and technology partners. Each ISE® Program continues to deliver a high-quality experience well worth your time.

 It was truly an honor receiving the 2010 ISE® Central Executive of the Year Award, as it provided me the visibility and networking opportunities to move my career to the next level. Being recognized by your peers within the security industry as an Information Security Leader is one of the most rewarding awards one could receive.

Our ISE Project Award success was announced not only at the Awards Gala, but on social media sites as well, which spread news of our achievements around the industry with “positive press” that our company, vendors and clients all enjoy hearing about. The recognition our team received reaffirmed to our company leadership and other high-ranking executives that our projects are successful and that we are taking significant strides to perform unique feats in security. They are assured that the investment they made in our teams is validated and worthwhile, which in turn provides a boost in our team’s confidence and morale.

The ISE® Programs provide an excellent blend of security education, benchmarking, and recognition in one event that is quite unique for our industry. It provides a forum for the free flow of information among peers, the opportunity to look ahead at important security trends, and the chance to pause, reflect and honor accomplishments in our field. These events should be on the calendar of every security executive.

The value obtained from the ISE® events are very useful in gaining insight into industry security trends and vendors. The collective intellect at the events always provides me with important nuggets of wisdom on strategy development and execution. I regard the ISE® events as a must attend for security professionals and they are always an event on my calendar to attend.

 I was really impressed with how the format allowed for networking, sharing of information, and—most importantly—on-the-spot advice on real-time issues and risks that I am dealing with. At the time of ISE® West, I was in the midst of working on a complex contract for IT services, and I was able to get great advice during the roundtable sessions that helped me ensure risks were addressed appropriately. I now have a network of colleagues that I can call on.

ISE programs have been instrumental in me staying up to date on the latest security best practices – from how other CISOs address today’s threats to reviewing the latest vendor offerings that can add value to our cyber security program.

The ISE Awards Gala had a true “Oscars style” feel to it, recognizing Information Security professionals and projects for their accomplishments. I eagerly look forward to the next ISE Program.

Thank you very much for the opportunity and also for all you do for us in the field of information security. I thought the last two days at the 2017 ISE Southeast Executive Forum and Awards were a great success, not only for the outstanding content of the presentations, but also for the opportunity to hold conversations with my peers both within and outside of healthcare. It also allowed for conversations with vendors who offer cutting edge technologies and services in our field. These opportunities help me immensely in developing my organization’s strategy for cybersecurity.

The ISE® North America Leadership Summit & Awards was a fantastic event. Your events connect industry leaders and provide us with quality content. Your team puts on a great show!

Networking and connecting with old friends and colleagues was enough to make the ISE Program a huge win for me and the ISE® Awards were the icing on the cake.

The ISE® Programs are a great venue for us to network and build our relationships. They are hugely valuable. We commit to spend time with the vendors that are on hand. That and RSA® are the biggest ways I learn about vendors.

The discussed topics are very relevant, plus the various booths and sponsors do a great job at highlighting their expertise and showcasing their products. These events have the substance to keep you interested, creating a true learning experience with the added benefit of being fun and exciting.

ISE Programs provides a venue to build an effective network of security professionals that collaborate to address the latest threats who can be called on when faced with previously unseen issues.

The ISE® Executive Forum roundtables and panel discussions were highly informative and provided a rare opportunity to discuss the most current information security risks with CISOs from many large and prestigious organizations across a broad range of industries.

Thank you for the opportunity to catch up with old friends, make new connections, and begin great collaborations on our latest cyber hot buttons.
