About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit (branded by Gartner as the Gartner Cybersecurity & Risk Management Summit) is an annual B2B cybersecurity conference for security and risk leaders. It brings together chief information security officers (CISOs), cybersecurity leaders, Gartner analysts and solution providers to help organizations defend against increasingly complex and evolving cyberthreats.
The program is built around research-driven guidance across the full security spectrum. Attendees explore cybersecurity leadership and innovation, cyber risk and regulations, and cybersecurity operations and response, with sessions spanning AI, cyber-risk management, cloud and data security, threat detection and exposure management. The agenda also features specialized tracks such as a dedicated Government Program for public-sector security leaders.
The summit is worth attending for its combination of objective analyst insight and peer networking. Registered attendees can book private one-on-one meetings with Gartner analysts, join roundtables, workshops and Ask-the-Analyst sessions, and meet vendors in the Exhibit Showcase. It is a strong fit for CISOs, senior IT security and risk executives, and technology providers who want to sharpen strategy, benchmark against peers and evaluate new solutions.
