CISO community Nederland provides a platform for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and cybersecurity professionals in the Netherlands. By bringing together the top talents in the sector, we will be able to share knowledge, exchange experiences, and work together with the ultimate goal of increasing cyber awareness and cyber resilience in a quick-moving digital world. The community aims to increase cybersecurity maturity in The Netherlands, reposition cybersecurity in the boardroom, contribute to knowledge development, stimulate the conversation between relevant stakeholders, and create a cybersecurity domain ecosystem that helps security providers shape their roadmaps. Dimitri van Zantvliet, Director of Cybersecurity and CISO at Dutch Railways, and Rob Beijleveld, CEO of ICT Media are the founders of CISO community Nederland. They noticed the CISO role has matured fast. Increasingly, CISOs report directly to the board. Cybersecurity has become Chefsache and CISOs deserve their own place. Therefore it makes sense that they are represented by an independent community that can act as a separate stakeholder. With support from ICT Media, workshops, roundtables, and events will be organized, like the annual CISODAY, held every Spring, where a CISO of the Year will be chosen. There will be a public content platform, cisocommunity.nl, and a member-only environment to exchange tips and knowledge securely.

Dawnguard is an AI-native Security Architecture Automation platform that embeds security by design into cloud architectures, validating designs up front, generating production-ready IaC, and maintaining posture post-deployment to shift security left from day zero through continuous resilience.
