A different way to collaborate and Connect

It started with a simple idea.
What if leadership development and connection didn’t have to happen in hotel ballrooms? What if executives could disconnect and give back at the same time?

The idea was born.
Recognizing that enterprise and global security chiefs often battle burnout and that standard industry events don't address it, our founding CISO envisioned a retreat where executives can forge life-long relationships, gain one-on-one coaching, recharge away from the usual noise, and serve a larger purpose.

A change in pace.
CISO Ascent unites outdoor leadership events with purpose-driven community investments for senior cybersecurity executives. Wilderness excursions, executive-coaching sessions, and outdoor peer think tanks allow leaders to recharge while cultivating a tight-knit community committed to giving back.

Where cybersecurity climbs higher.
Guided by a ten-member Board of Directors, CISO Ascent reinvests its revenue across a broad impact portfolio that includes grant programs, mentorship networks, and education programs. By blending nature, strategy, collaboration, and board-directed investments, CISO Ascent empowers security leaders, and the ecosystem they serve, to climb higher together.
