Reach Your CISO Buyers

Security Shark Tank® puts cybersecurity companies directly in front of the executives who evaluate, recommend, and buy security technology—and gives those CISOs the opportunity to question solutions alongside their peers.

What It Is

A select group of solution providers participates in a focused executive program with CISOs. Each company receives a concise window to establish what it does and why it matters, followed by direct CISO questioning and discussion.

How It Works

Solution providers are expected to get to the point quickly. CISOs probe the problem being solved, differentiation, implementation, integration, risk, evidence, and business value. The result is a more useful conversation than a conventional pitch.

Why the Peer Context Matters

CISOs buy based in part on what trusted peers are seeing, using, questioning, and recommending. Security Shark Tank® creates that context in the room. Executives hear one another’s questions and can identify the issues that determine whether they are prepared to move forward.

CISO Participation

Participating CISOs evaluate solutions as executives responsible for real enterprise decisions. Their role is to ask the questions they would ask during an actual buying process and share relevant experience with one another.

Why Solution Providers Participate

  • Direct access — Reach senior security buyers in a concentrated setting.
  • Buyer questions — Hear the questions that determine whether a solution advances.
  • Peer context — Understand how CISOs respond when evaluating alongside other CISOs.
  • Market feedback — Learn which messages, differentiators, and concerns resonate.
  • Relationships — Continue relevant conversations after the formal session.

Format

  • 5 p.m. — Security Shark Tank®
  • 6:30 p.m. — Upscale Networking Dinner

Participation details, dates and locations vary by program and are provided in the program prospectus.

Core Principle

Security Shark Tank® should never feel like a series of long demos. Its value comes from compression, scrutiny, discussion, and the presence of experienced buyers.
