CIO Leadership: The CISO’s Role in Enabling Innovation and Reshaping the Business Will Drive the Discussion at HMG Strategy’s Upcoming 2020 HMG Live! New York CISO Executive Leadership Summit
WESTPORT, CT. – October 29, 2020 – HMG Strategy, the world’s #1 digital platform for connecting technology executives to reimagine the enterprise and reshape the business world, will feature its unparalleled, peer-driven content at its 2020 HMG Live! New York CISO Executive Leadership Summit today, October 29, kicking off at 1 p.m. ET. HMG Strategy has produced more than 80 digital events since March, bringing together renowned thought leaders to examine the most pressing leadership, strategic, technological and career challenges technology executives face today.
Critical issues that security and technology leaders will be discussing at the event include steps they’re taking to enable innovation and business growth along with fresh approaches to protect the distributed enterprise on a go-forward basis.
“Our unique peer-focused research reveals that the roles for CISOs and security leaders have evolved beyond putting the right cybersecurity tools and practices in place,” said Hunter Muller, President and CEO at HMG Strategy. “CEOs and Boards are looking to CISOs and CIOs to play a much more strategic role in enabling the business, identifying new business opportunities in core, parallel and new markets, and helping to shape a winning culture.”

HMG Strategy has harmonized these interests by creating the HMG Marketplace.HMG Strategy’s high-powered Marketplace transforms the time-consuming request-for-information (RFI) process for CIOs and other technology buyers. Now, technology buyers can indicate the types of technologies and services they’re currently interested in and be matched with a prospective provider to make the connection.“The HMG Marketplace essentially serves as a reference center to connect the right technology buyers with the right technology providers at the right time,” said Hunter Muller, President and CEO of HMG Strategy. “By filling out a short needs assessment survey, CIO, CTOs and other technology executives are connected with executive leaders and subject matter experts from technology companies to have focused, relevant discussions.”Charter members that are actively participating in the HMG Marketplace include Appian, Aryaka, Awake Security, Darktrace, Forescout Technologies, Globant, Ivanti, Obsidian Security, PagerDuty, Sonatype, Tanium and Tessian. “It’s challenging for all of us that we can’t all be together at these events,” says Nicole Eagan, Chief Strategy & AI Officer at Darktrace. “But the next best thing is being able to connect through the Marketplace. We’re committed that you won’t be meeting with a salesperson – you’ll be meeting with myself and the Darktrace executive team. You’ve got CIOs and CISOs who will attend these meetings and we would love the opportunity to catch up and strategize together.” How it WorksAfter attending an HMG Strategy Executive Leadership Summit, an attendee is redirected to the HMG Marketplace, where they are prompted to fill out a short needs analysis survey to indicate their current technology needs. From there, an HMG Strategy customer relationship specialist evaluates the survey information and schedules a meeting between the technology buyer and the most suitable technology partner in the Marketplace based on the buyer’s interests.While in the Marketplace, the technology buyer is presented with a menu of options to choose from, including an option to view customer testimonials for that vendor and the business problem that was addressed. Sponsor partners receive highly qualified leads because of the strength of relationships inherent in the HMG network combined with the specific technology or service interest indicated by the buyer. The HMG Marketplace offers multiple benefits to both technology buyers and vendors:● Precision matching of buyer needs with vendor capabilities● Accelerates the sales process for both buyers and sellers – Buyers and sellers quickly identify one another through the needs analysis process and associated reference materials● Ensures Quality Discussions – CIOs, CTOs, CISOs and other technology buyers are qualified based on their true interest and by a set of characteristics (size, industry, types of technology/service interests, spend parameters, etc.). Buyers are paired with technology suppliers based on their domains and areas of expertise to avoid wasting time● Drives Higher Conversion and Close Rates for Providers –The HMG Marketplace accelerates high-quality deal flow in challenging times and enables technology providers to lower their customer acquisition costsTo learn more about the HMG Marketplace and explore the digital assets that are available there, click here.
