Senior cybersecurity, IT, and AI leaders from across New England will convene in Boston on November 17 for CISO Boston 2026, a Corinium Global Intelligence forum built around peer to peer engagement rather than passive presentations. The event addresses the evolving challenge of securing complex, highly technical environments as cyber threats grow in scale and sophistication.

A Peer Focused Format for a Regulated Region
The event brings together Chief Information Security Officers, Chief Information Officers, Chief Technology Officers, heads of security, AI leaders, and senior technology executives from industries including healthcare, higher education, biotechnology, financial services, and regional enterprise organizations. It is built specifically for peer to peer engagement among leaders managing diverse and fast evolving digital ecosystems, many of them operating in highly regulated, data sensitive industries where security, operational continuity, and trust are closely connected.
The 2026 Discussion Areas
CISO Boston reflects the practical priorities facing technology and cybersecurity leaders today, from strengthening resilience and improving visibility to managing risk across increasingly complex environments. Discussions will explore threat detection and response, identity and access management, cloud security, governance and risk management, and securing hybrid technology landscapes.
Key discussion areas include cyber and business alignment, exploring how security leaders can support business growth while managing risk and enabling secure operations; artificial intelligence and security, examining the opportunities and challenges of adopting AI while addressing new risks and vulnerabilities; threat intelligence, sharing insight into the changing threat landscape and strategies for improving cyber resilience; and incident management, discussing effective approaches for detection, response, recovery, and preparedness.
That AI and security intersection is not a hypothetical for the crypto industry either. Security teams tracking systemic vulnerabilities across decentralized finance have documented how quickly attackers adapt to new technology stacks, a dynamic CISO Boston’s agenda treats as a defining challenge for any organization adopting AI at speed.
New England’s concentration of research hospitals, universities, and biotechnology firms gives the region a distinct risk profile. Healthcare and life sciences organizations hold some of the most sensitive personal data in any industry while also running on some of the oldest and most fragmented technology stacks, a combination that makes them a persistent target for ransomware and credential theft. Higher education adds another layer of complexity, with large, decentralized networks that are difficult to fully secure without disrupting open academic research. CISO Boston’s agenda is built with that regional mix in mind rather than treating security as a one size fits all discipline.
What Organizers Are Saying
“Security and technology leaders are facing a rapidly changing environment where collaboration and shared knowledge are critical,” said Lia Cummins, Conference Producer at Corinium Global Intelligence. “CISO Boston creates an opportunity for executives to connect with peers, exchange practical experiences, and gain perspectives that can help strengthen their security strategies.”
Featuring 20 plus industry speakers and five plus hours of industry content, CISO Boston will provide attendees with insight across cybersecurity strategy, governance, risk management, cloud security, incident response, and emerging technologies. Attendees will have the opportunity to build relationships with fellow security and technology leaders, discuss shared challenges, and take away actionable insight to support their organization’s cybersecurity priorities.
