Tim Ayling | VP EMEA Cyber Security Specialists at Thales
What makes this community stand out is the honesty. Everyone here gets how tough the role can be and no one’s pretending to have all the answers. I’ve been in security leadership for years, but I still come away from these sessions with fresh ideas and new ways of thinking. That’s the value: learning from each other, without the noise.
Jay Thurston | Field CISO at Thales
It’s not easy being a CISO right now and that’s why this community matters. You’re not just hearing from speakers; you’re hearing from people who’ve been in the trenches. I’m proud to share what I’ve learned over the years, but just as often I’m learning from others. That shared experience, that openness, that’s what makes this space different.

Bad bot report
This report highlights the significant increase in malicious bot activity, which for the first time in a decade, surpassed human web traffic in 2024, accounting for 37% of all internet traffic. A major driver of this surge is the increased accessibility of AI tools, which have lowered the barrier to entry for cyber attackers, enabling them to create sophisticated and evasive bots at scale.

Healthcare and life sciences - Data threat report
In this report, we share key findings from the 2025 Thales Data Threat Report (DTR) focused on HCLS organizations and examine the differences between HCLS survey respondents and global responses across all industry verticals. Many of the HCLS DTR survey results are similar to overall responses, but we note key differences.
