The Executive Security Action Forum (ESAF) is an association of senior executives who are responsible for protecting information for Global 1000 companies and government. Membership in the Forum includes executives such as Chief Information Security Officers, Chief Privacy Officers, Chief Risk Officers, and Chief Information Officers. ESAF enables these leaders from the private and public sectors to share insights, discuss key issues, and find actionable solutions to today’s information security challenges. Members meet every year at the ESAF annual meeting held at the beginning of the RSA® Conference. The ESAF annual meetings have been so successful that the ESAF program has expanded to include a mid-year meeting held in the fall timeframe on the East coast and other events such as web casts. ESAF meetings are invitation-only, closed-door events designed to enable candid dialogue among senior executives. To find out more about ESAF, contact Becky Kavanagh at becky@rsa.com.

This web site is intended as a valuable resource for ESAF members. Here you will also find the latest information on upcoming events. As well, proceedings and any relevant documents from previous ESAF meetings are available on the archive pages.
