Forum Discussion Leaders

(Present & Past)

Morgan Jones

Partner, Cybersecurity/Data Privacy Practice Group, Brown Rudnick LLP

On tech evolution and regulatory/legal trends, business planning amid rapid tech evolution, and managing risk/liability profiles. Brown Rudnick frequently guides clients on how to navigate emerging issues with an eye to helping them to avoid having to start over again down the road. Expect a candid conversation about the current regulatory landscapes for AI and privacy, and data breach best practices.

Mike Wilkes

CISO | Resilience Champion | Advisor | Board Member | Adjunct Professor

Parallels can be drawn between the musical improvisation of jazz performance with cybersecurity incident response. Instead of casting cybersecurity as a war and a battle, we might do well to instead take a view on the activity as being more like a game. An infinite game in which we play both defender (blue team) and attacker (red team) in order to improve our skills as a more sustainable mindset for practicing our craft.

About CxO Forum

CxO Security Forum began as a response to a common frustration among senior cybersecurity leaders: the way enterprise solutions are marketed, sold, and evaluated is fundamentally broken. What started as a call for change has grown into a trusted community that puts executive practitioners at the center of the conversation.

We bring together CISOs, CIOs, and senior decision-makers who are responsible for protecting their organizations, guiding strategic risk, and navigating the evolving role of AI in security. Every forum, gathering, and conversation is designed to foster education, mentoring, and authentic peer connection.

What makes us different is our focus on relationships. Our events are intentionally small, curated, and built for real dialogue. Sponsors are carefully selected, and there are no product pitches. Participants come for thoughtful, actionable conversations that support both professional development and practical decision-making.

At CxO Security Forum, the goal is simple. Give experienced leaders a space to learn from one another, to share insight, and to build meaningful connections that last beyond the event itself.
