The expanded ELEVATE 2018 CSO summit series kicks off in London on October 2nd featuring a keynote from Lord Jonathan Evans, one of the British government’s principal advisors on national security threats including terrorism, cyber security and espionage.  Lord Evans was formerly Director General of the British Security Service MI5 and had overall responsibility for protecting the UK from threats to national security.  Also keynoting the London event will be Lord Toby Harris, member of the UK Joint Committee on National Security, who led the independent review for the Mayor of London on the city’s preparedness to respond to a major terrorist incident.  Panelists in London will feature security leaders from Ernst & Young, Tate Galleries and The Francis Crick Institute.

For the U.S. events, Matt Olsen, CSO of Uber and former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center under President Obama, will keynote along with Everbridge CSO Tracy Reinhold, former Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation who also led the FBI’s intelligence division. Olsen and Reinhold will be joined by a panel of CSOs and security leaders in each location from among Biogen, Fannie Mae, Invesco, Marriott, State Street Bank, and The Southern Company, discussing the role innovation and technology play in managing today’s critical events.

“As security leaders, we are constantly confronted with an escalating threat environment that is compounded by an increasingly mobile work force,” said Tracy Reinhold, CSO of Everbridge. “CSOs must continually adapt to elevate the internal value of their function, gain more investment and resources, and analyze risk data and intelligence in order to ensure the safety of their employees, company operations, supply chain, and brand reputation. The ELEVATE events provide CSOs with an intimate venue to connect with their peers and to learn how to optimize their security strategies and align them to business objectives.”
