GSO summit to be held at LinkedIn HQ

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – On Aug. 16 and 17 LinkedIn Global Headquarters will be hosting a number of industrial professionals, including global security directors and managers, for an interactive summit addressing security leadership and technology deployment challenges.

The Global Security Operations summit is named GSO 2025, so called for the summit’s focus on the future. The summit will address concepts like the evolution of business risks, with criminals adopting a mixture of cyber and physical vulnerabilities in their attacks. Additionally, it will feature discussion on emerging threats as well as successful new security solutions.

“Today’s security practitioners need to incorporate innovative approaches that enable them to be effective in spite of today’s business changes and changing organizational risk pictures,” said Ray Bernard, event producer and security consultant. “Today, security is an important board-level issue, and there is often untapped 2 of 2 management support available for security initiatives that are important to protecting and strengthening the business. The GSO 2025 event covers security leadership practices very specifically with real-world examples. The sessions are extremely helpful in understanding how to make the value picture clear to management. The attendees are accomplished CSOs, security directors and managers, so there is also a significant information sharing component at the event.”

The event will host workshops with session leaders that include: Maria Sumnicht, former NYC Cyber Command urban technology architect, Sulev Suvari, former global head of safety, security and resiliency for Hewlett Packard, Benjamin J. “Ben” Scaglione, security director for NYC Hospitals and author of Security Management for Healthcare: Proactive Event Prevention and Effective Resolution, and Derric Wright, senior director DEI and former senior director – EHS, Security, & DEA Compliance – Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA.
