and enterprise safety software applications to help keep people safe and

2018 CSO networking and roundtable series to include London,
Washington D.C., Atlanta and Boston. The CSO-only events, led by

provide an opportunity for senior-level security leaders to discuss
elevating security’s role within today’s modern threat environment.
The expanded ELEVATE 2018 CSO summit series kicks off in London on
October 2nd featuring a keynote from Lord Jonathan Evans, one
of the British government’s principal advisors on national security
threats including terrorism, cybersecurity and espionage. Lord Evans was
formerly Director General of the British Security Service MI5 and had
overall responsibility for protecting the UK from threats to national
security. Also keynoting the London event will be Lord Toby Harris,
member of the UK Joint Committee on National Security, who led the
independent review for the Mayor of London on the city’s preparedness to

Crick Institute.
For the U.S. events, Matt Olsen, CSO of Uber and former Director of the

division. Olsen and Reinhold will be joined by a panel of CSOs and
security leaders in each location from Biogen, Fannie Mae, Invesco,
Marriott, State Street Bank and The Southern Company, discussing the
role innovation and technology play in managing today’s critical events.
“As security leaders, we are constantly confronted with an escalating
threat environment that is compounded by an increasingly mobile
workforce,” said Tracy Reinhold, CSO of Everbridge. “CSOs must
continually adapt to elevate the internal value of their function, gain
more investment and resources, and analyze risk data and intelligence in
order to ensure the safety of their employees, company operations,
supply chain and brand reputation. The ELEVATE events provide CSOs with
an intimate venue to connect with their peers and to learn how to
optimize their security strategies and align them to business
objectives.”
