Cyber Management Alliance hosted its inaugural Wisdom of Crowds Cybersecurity Event - introducing a completely new format for CISO Networking Events, Knowledge Sharing and Collaboration for cybersecurity practitioners and decision-makers.
The first edition of the Cybersecurity Leadership Networking Event brought together some of the sharpest minds in cybersecurity and incident response to discuss, learn, and collaborate on the future of cybersecurity. Set against the fabulous backdrop of The Belfry's golf course, this inaugural Wisdom of Crowds live event concentrated on crucial aspects of safeguarding personal data for both employees and customers to adhere to the EU GDPR regulations.
Introducing Wisdom of Crowds
Wisdom of Crowds live events mark a significant departure from traditional cybersecurity conferences. Introduced by Cyber Management Alliance, these cybersecurity leadership events emphasise the collective intelligence of a diverse group of cybersecurity professionals. These CISO networking events aim to harness the unparalleled insights and strategies that are borne when the brightest minds in the cybersecurity community come together.
Unlike regular conferences that often focus on lectures by a few experts, these unique events encourage dynamic interactions and collaborative problem-solving among all participants. Attendees are actively engaged in discussions on critical topics, such as safeguarding personal data for both employees and customers, essential for compliance with regulations such as the EU GDPR. Participants leave with not only a deeper understanding of these issues but also a sense of empowerment from contributing to and learning from the collective expertise of their peers.
