Registration for the Houston Forum is now open for CISO Executive Members http://ciso.issa.org/Events/registration/index.php

The CISO Executive Forum Membership Program was founded by a group of ISSA members who, as senior level IT security managers, saw their positions evolving and gaining additional responsibilities. With these additional responsibilities came the need for a forum to connect with their peers in addressing the unique challenges of the VP and C-level security manager. To meet this need ISSA created the CISO Executive Membership Program, with 4 annual events addressing these needs in a peer-to-peer format.
