About the
Roundtable

The modern enterprise is no longer static. It is constantly evolving, driven by digital transformation, regulatory pressure, geopolitical uncertainty, and an expanding threat landscape. In this environment, cybersecurity leaders are expected not only to protect the organization, but to enable it to adapt, recover, and reinvent.

The NKST Edmonton CISO Roundtable 2026 brings together senior cybersecurity leaders for a focused, closed-door discussion on how enterprises are navigating this shift. This forum is designed for candid conversations among peers who are actively balancing risk, resilience, and reinvention in complex operational environments
