Security Leader Summit 6

Colorado = Security is thrilled to announce Security Leader Summit 6 — a one-day program of learning, sharing, and networking for the Colorado security leadership community.

Summit 6 is different. We're asking each security leader to bring their head of legal as a partner attendee. Regulatory exposure, breach response, AI governance, vendor risk — these live at the intersection of both teams, and too many teams only end up in the same room when something is already on fire. The day is built to change that.

Sessions

  • Peer case studies — Security leaders share what they were trying to solve, what worked, and what they'd do differently. Several Summit 6 case studies are co-presented by CISOs and their legal counterparts.

  • Cross-functional leadership — Communication, executive influence, and working across functions — especially with legal and the executive team.

  • Incident response tabletop — An interactive guided incident scenario covering both technical and legal decisions — disclosure obligations, evidence preservation, regulator notification, customer comms. Security and legal roleplay the response together.

Featured sessions

  • Opening keynote — Andre Durand, CEO & Founder at Ping Identity, “Trust Nobody, Verify Everything: Identity Assurance in an Agentic and Deepfake World.”

  • Lunch keynote — CISO debate — Sue Lapierre vs. John Everson! A moderated debate among Colorado CISOs on a question at the intersection of security and legal.

  • Closing keynote — The CISO and head of Legal at a Fortune 500 Colorado-headquartered company, on how their teams actually work together.

Why legal counsel should attend

  • Breach-notification timelines keep tightening. Knowing your security team's response cadence before the incident makes the difference between a 72-hour scramble and a defensible disclosure.

  • AI governance, vendor risk, and data residency increasingly land on the same desk security is already working from.

  • One day, in-person, peer-only. No sales pitches, no recordings. Walk out with relationships in place.

Security leader? Register below, then forward this page to your head of legal for them to register as well — we want both of you in the room.

No cost to attend for security leaders and their legal counsel. Free parking, breakfast, and lunch provided.
