About the Program
RSAC CISO Boot Camp is an invitation-only gathering of future CISOs from a broad set of organizations around the globe. This closed-door, Chatham House Rule program will deliver a unique and curated experience designed to prepare aspiring CISOs for the next step in their careers.
Launched in 2019, CISO Boot Camp is in its next iteration and is now co-designed by RSAC and SANS Institute, two leading organizations in the cybersecurity ecosystem. Delivered by experienced CISOs and industry experts, attendees can expect quality presentations, inspiring conversations, and immersive hands-on learning with live simulations to help instill the skills needed to be successful–not to mention, plenty of networking with new peers on the same career trajectory, and experts with possible mentoring opportunities.
This is a free program and attendees will receive Expo Pass access to RSAC 2023 as part of their RSAC CISO Boot Camp badge, with the opportunity to upgrade to an Expo Plus Pass or Full Conference Pass. Program size is limited to 100 participants. Attendance is limited to one year, with alumni networking opportunities to follow.
