#Connectingcisos

Uniting the C-Level Community from coast to coast

16 years of Connection

Celebrating 16 years of building trusted relationships and empowering CISOs through meaningful networking. It all began with a passion for connection—and it’s only grown stronger.

Summer

As we move through the summer, excitement continues to build with several signature events on the horizon. We’re looking forward to an exclusive dinner gathering in New York in July, followed by the highly anticipated Black Hat CISO Soirée in Las Vegas in August during Black Hat Week.

These events provide unique opportunities to bring together cybersecurity leaders, foster meaningful connections, and continue important conversations shaping the future of the industry.

We invite cybersecurity leaders and industry professionals to join us for these exceptional events and look forward to connecting with both familiar and new faces.

Over the years, Kolenko & Associates has united Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Chief Information Officers (CIOs), and esteemed industry security leaders at prestigious events such as the Black Hat and RSA conferences. In addition to our notable gatherings, we offer comprehensive IT and cybersecurity consulting in collaboration with our distinguished partners.
