A different way to collaborate and Connect
It started with a simple idea.
What if leadership development and professional connection didn’t have to happen in windowless hotel ballrooms? What if the path forward could actually begin on a path through nature?
CISO Ascent was born.
Founded by a critical infrastructure CISO and business executive, CISO Ascent emerged from a desire to create something different for cybersecurity leaders. Our founder noticed the limits of traditional conferences and envisioned a space where executives could connect more meaningfully, recharge away from the noise, and contribute to a broader purpose.
A change in pace.
Our retreats bring together c-level cybersecurity executives from across the country for a unique experience that blends nature, strategy, and community. Each summit is designed to foster open dialogue, deep connection, and fresh thinking in an environment that inspires clarity and collaboration.
Where cybersecurity climbs higher.
At CISO Ascent, leaders come together not just to share insights but to build something lasting. With real conversations and a shared sense of purpose, our events empower security professionals to return to their organizations with renewed energy, stronger networks, and actionable strategies.
Giving back is part of the journey
