Journeys worth sharing to progress security and build resilience

Security 360 Circle, recently known as Pulse Security Circle, is the community hosted by Pulse Conferences. We are a growing, international community of Chief Information Security Officers, Chief Security Officers, directors of resilience, risk, intelligence, investigations and industry luminaries including CMOs, CIOs, CTOs, Chief Researchers, Analysts.

Originally created in April 2020 as a way to keep our CISO and CSO 360 security communities talking during the lock down period, the Pulse Security Circle is now a fast-growing community of peers who share a common interest in the success and long-term growth of security, risk, financial crime and governance related disciplines and markets. Participants are Compeers, a word chosen to capture the purpose of the Security 360 Circle – an informal sense of belonging to a “Community” combined with “Peer”, reflecting the peer to peer sharing and learning from the experiences of others.

Following the unprecedented Iranian-led attack on Israel, Justin will kindly share insights and updates on potential scenarios for escalation, regional spillover and global implications, before leading us into the open group discussion. This is the ideal opportunity to ask Justin, who is a regular contributor to BBC Newsnight, Today and many other leading news channels, questions in a trusted, friendly, business-focused community setting.

About the Lead Speaker:

Justin is a military veteran with 25 years of full and part time experience. With degrees from the University of Durham and King’s College, London, he was initially a corporate finance analyst at JP Morgan Chase & Co before being called up for military service after 9/11. This started a security focused career that led to founding Sibylline. He continues to serve as a Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank commander with the Royal Wessex Yeomanry in the UK. His focus areas are global jihadism, the evolution of cyber and technical threats, and the creation of innovative and effective risk models. He is an acknowledged authority on business intelligence, global risk analysis and governance, the Vice President of the Association of International Risk Intelligence Professionals (AIRIP); a member of the UK Risk and Security Management Forum; on the steering group of the International Security Foundation; and mentors next generation military professionals starting in business through Heropreneurs. He has on-the-ground experience in over 65 countries and is a regular print and broadcast media commentator, as well as the author of Corporate Security Intelligence and Strategic Decision Making, the first work dedicated to the topic.
