Security leaders forging ahead
The organisations best positioned to defend themselves are those that think like attackers, continuously testing their assumptions and identifying weaknesses before they become incidents.
As organisations face increasingly sophisticated and AI-powered attacks, understanding how resilient your defences really are is becoming a key priority for security leaders.
Join Nomios and Horizon3 at Great Oak Forge for an informal afternoon bringing together a small group of senior security leaders for an afternoon of blacksmithing, networking, and peer discussions.
No slides. No product demonstrations. Just honest conversation, valuable connections, and a unique experience.
The Experience
Hosted at Great Oak Forge, this immersive blacksmithing session combines hands-on learning with valuable peer networking. Working alongside expert blacksmiths, you'll learn the fundamentals of forging, transform raw steel into a finished piece, and experience first-hand the craftsmanship behind an age-old trade.
It's also an opportunity to step away from the demands of the working day and spend time with fellow security leaders, exchanging ideas, discussing common challenges, and building new connections in a unique and memorable setting.
