Media Partnership Announced with CDM Media

What began as two Amys (yes, really) sharing coffee chats has turned into something pretty epic. We’re teaming up with CDM Media – the folks who curate exclusive, invitation-only CISO summits brimming with executive-level insight and strategy. They bring the deep-dive think tanks and keynotey keynotes; we bring the chaos, cyber heists, and immersive puzzle-solving fun.

WHY THIS PARTNERSHIP WORKS

CDM Media’s summits are built around peer-to-peer, interactive learning – from breakout think-tanks to one-to-one executive exchanges – all designed to spark real, honest conversations among top security leaders. And they’re global, intimate, and strategic: bringing CISOs and tech execs together in settings where every session counts. (As they say, “no booths. Just business.”) 

Now, we’re adding our top-tier cyber escape experiences into the mix. It’s fast-paced, thought-provoking, and bound to kick-start collaboration and conversation in ways a standard panel just can’t.

FIRST VENUES: LONDON & ATLANTA

We’re launching at two of CDM’s flagship CISO summits:

  • London, UK – CISO UK Summit, InterContinental, Park Lane on July 3, 2025 
  • Atlanta, USA – National CISO Flagship Summit, Château Élan, June 25‑27, 2025 

These events attract senior Infosec leaders in intimate settings, with formats like half-hour boardrooms, exec exchanges, keynote takeovers, speed debates… the kind of sharp-thinking, high-impact stuff CDM is known for. And now, for the first time, attendees get a chance to step out of their comfort zone and into a cyber heist… LIVE.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE HEIST

  • A room full of security leaders (and curious non-tech guests) tackling puzzles, forensic challenges, and client-side sabotage.
  • A gravity-defying mix of teamwork, role-playing, and real-world scenario problem-solving — all under a time limit.
  • A fun, informal way for CISOs to flex their cyber instincts, kick mental gears into action, and spark those spontaneous break-room chats that drive real change.
  • Hands-on learning experiences that echo CDM’s ethos: real dialogue, peer learning, memorable takeaways.

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

Sure, puzzles and props are part of the appeal… but what really gets us excited is long-term impact. Expect more co‑branded events, expanded global reach, and creative spins on awareness training (ever tried AR crime scene simulation? Yep, coming soon). Because the best kind of training is the kind that sticks… when people laugh, learn, and remember how it felt to pull off a heist together.
