Leadership & Vision

An event of this magnitude requires visionary leadership. This edition is spearheaded by Event Director Muhammad Umair Nizam and Global Advisor Syed Abdul Qadir (PMP, CISA, ISO LA). Their combined expertise and dedication to the community promise a summit that is both impactful and operationally excellent.

Celebrating Excellence: The CISO Awards

One of the most exciting aspects of this year’s forum is the recognition of top-tier talent. The Global CISO Forum will be presenting awards to 30 outstanding CISOs, selected from a competitive pool of over 250 applications.

But the stakes are even higher: 3 of these winners will receive an exclusive invitation—with full expenses covered—to the Grand Finale for the world premiere event. This is a massive opportunity to showcase Pakistan’s cyber leadership on a truly global stage.

Why You Should Attend

If you are a security leader, a risk manager, or an IT professional, this is the place to be. Beyond the awards, the forum will offer unparalleled networking opportunities, insights into the latest governance and compliance trends, and a chance to collaborate with peers who are facing the same challenges you are.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this premier gathering.
