About Le Before
Le Before is an invitation-only event established in 2017 that serves as a precursor to Les Assises, one of the cybersecurity sector’s prominent gatherings. Organized by Comexposium One to One, the event brings together a select group of cybersecurity leaders for structured dialogue on the direction of the industry. The outcomes of these discussions are compiled into a report that is subsequently presented at the main Les Assises conference.
Strategic Focus Areas
The event addresses strategic, operational and regulatory challenges facing cybersecurity leadership. Core topics include market outlook analysis, sector-wide challenges, regulatory and legal considerations, and emerging trends in cybersecurity. Sessions are designed to help attendees anticipate industry developments, collaborate on responses to emerging threats and navigate complex compliance landscapes.
Event Format
Le Before operates as an in-person, executive-level gathering with a highly selective attendance model. The programme features round tables for open discussion, commissions (collaborative working sessions) and smaller meet-ups led by subject matter experts and legal professionals. This structure prioritizes peer exchange and practical outcomes over traditional presentation formats.
Who Should Attend
Le Before is designed for senior cybersecurity professionals responsible for strategic decision-making within their organizations. The target audience includes Group CISOs, CISOs, ISDs and other high-level security leaders. Attendees typically represent large organizations across various industries and participate either as invited guests or through partner company arrangements. The event serves those seeking peer-level dialogue on leadership challenges rather than product-focused content.
