Over the years, the CISO role has grown and matured under the CIO’s wings. CISOs are increasingly standing on their own feet by reporting directly to their boards. However, the role is very demanding and requires professionals to combine hard and soft skills to meet the requirements of multiple parties. Considering these challenges, a dedicated network of cybersecurity leaders is more than justified.

There are several fora serving cybersecurity professionals in the Netherlands, and we certainly don't want to compete with them. We were founded exclusively for professionals in security leadership.

We are a community for Chief Information Security Officers and high-ranking information security professionals. We aim to position cybersecurity as a topic in the boardroom, contribute to knowledge development, stimulate conversations between relevant stakeholders, and create a cybersecurity domain ecosystem that helps security providers shape their roadmaps.

By bringing together the top talents in cybersecurity, we share knowledge, provide tools, and work together to accelerate the shift to a more secure digital world. We have a members-only environment for exchanging tips, best practices, and knowledge securely and collaborating in working groups.

With the backing of the community, we are expanding the Highly Resilience Organizations (HRO) program, which builds on the experience of organizations operating at the highest cybersecurity level in the Netherlands.

We organize several workshops and training sessions per year to help members stay updated with the latest skills and knowledge. Besides, we organize the annual CISODAY, featuring the election of the Dutch CISO of the Year.
