Olivier Busolini has over 25 years of experience in IT security, working in different industries and countries, both in the private and public sectors, in France, the UK, Switzerland and the UAE.
He has gained leadership skills in IT and Information Security risk, (cyber)security, privacy and resilience management, as part of operational risks, data governance and digital business activities, and has adapted to various business environments.
Olivier began his career as an Officer in the French Ministry of Defence for 15 years, where he founded the first Red Team of the French National Information Security Agency in 2001. He then worked as an information security consultant for several years, including in a Big4 firm, and served as CISO for traditional and innovative Swiss banks for over 13 years.
He is currently continuing his journey in the United Arab Emirates as Group CISO for Mashreq Bank.
His main focus is to enable the business to take the necessary risks to grow the bank, within the risk tolerance of the management and in a cost effective manner.
Six months after missile and drone strikes disrupted airports and critical infrastructure across the Gulf, and the Strait of Hormuz was effectively shut down for commercial shipping, organizations are still reckoning with the operational and cyber consequences of the conflict.
Amid heightened hacktivist activity and opportunistic cyberattacks, many institutions learned hard lessons about identity security, crisis governance, and business continuity when both physical and digital systems were under pressure.
In this keynote, Olivier Busolini, Group CISO at Mashreq Bank, reflects on what truly mattered: Protecting people during kinetic disruptions, keeping operations running despite supply‑chain paralysis, and strengthening resilience when threats came simultaneously from the sky and the network.
