Where CISOs from small and mid-market organizations forge connections and navigate challenges together.
About the Program
Introducing the RSAC™ Cyber Leaders Forum (CLF), a newly established, invitation-only program tailored for CISOs and senior-most security leaders from small (at least 500 employees) to mid-size organizations.

Attendance is reserved for active security-facing CISOs (or equivalent) who meet qualifying criteria.

• CISO or senior-most security leader
• Organization size of 500+ employees (non-Fortune 1000)

Testimonials From Past Attendees
“This is a game changer for CISOs who need an environment more conducive to creating connections and consuming content in a way suited for our roles. I started attending RSA[C] through my career long journey from Engineer through CISO and was not getting the same value at the CISO level until CLF."
“The most valuable aspect was the opportunity to engage in deep, peer-level discussions that went beyond surface-level presentations. Compared to other C-level meetings, CLF stands out for its focus, intimacy, and strategic relevance.”
“Hearing real-world experiences from fellow cyber leaders—particularly around organizational culture, board-level engagement, and strategic decision-making—provided practical takeaways.”
