SpecialEurasia had the privilege of participating in the 8th CSO 360 Congress, a high-level international summit held in Rome, on December 4-6, 2025, which convened security leaders and experts from the corporate and governmental spheres.

Organised by Pulse Conferences, the Congress served as a significant platform to address the multifaceted and interdependent threats facing the global security landscape today.

As a geopolitical intelligence and risk assessment company, SpecialEurasia’s engagement at the CSO Congress was a strategically calculated move, aligned with our core mission to provide actionable intelligence to stakeholders navigating the volatile intersection of politics, security, and economics.

The event’s overarching theme – Resilience Strategies for People, Profits, Property, Information, and Reputation – directly corresponded with SpecialEurasia’s operational priorities and service delivery objectives.

Strategic Relevance for Business Development

Participation in the CSO 360 Congress substantially contributed to SpecialEurasia’s business development agenda. The platform enabled direct interaction with key stakeholders, decision-makers, and security professionals operating in a multitude of sectors, ranging from critical infrastructure and financial services to technology and defence.

Furthermore, the CSO Congress allowed SpecialEurasia to reinforce its brand positioning as a trusted intelligence partner, capable of delivering nuanced geopolitical risk assessments and bespoke intelligence products.

Contributing to Global Security Dialogue

SpecialEurasia’s presence at the Congress was not merely observational but participatory. Over two and a half days, the organisation immersed itself in strategic dialogues concerning current and emergent threats. Key thematic areas addressed during the Congress included:

• Geopolitical risk and the implications of global instability

• Terrorism trends and transnational threat actors

• Cybersecurity, ransomware, and digital resilience

• Disinformation and hybrid threats in both state and non-state contexts

• Illicit trade, corruption, and fraud intelligence

• Climate change as a national and corporate security risk

• Insider threats and the safeguarding of human security

• Supply chain vulnerabilities and crisis response strategies

• ESG-related challenges and reputational risk management

By absorbing insights from these sessions, SpecialEurasia refined its analytical frameworks and expanded its methodological toolkit to anticipate risks and provide early warning capabilities for clients. Our team also discussed and promoted the training courses in Geopolitical Intelligence Analysis and Intelligence Fundamentals useful for those companies interested in assessing current trends and challenges.

Strengthening Resilience in Uncertain Times

In an era characterised by Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA), the ability to access trustworthy, timely intelligence is paramount.

The CSO 360 Congress underlined this imperative by providing a collaborative environment where intelligence professionals, CSOs, and senior decision-makers could openly exchange operational experiences, foresight tools, and risk mitigation tactics.

Conclusion

SpecialEurasia’s participation in the 8th CSO 360 Congress was a decisive step towards deepening its institutional footprint within the international security and intelligence community. The Congress reaffirmed the importance of multidisciplinary, intelligence-led approaches to risk management, a principle that remains at the heart of our operational philosophy.

By engaging with peers, clients, and thought leaders in Rome, SpecialEurasia has not only enriched its analytical capabilities but also reinforced its commitment to supporting stakeholders in navigating an increasingly complex global risk environment. The outcomes of this participation will directly feed into our strategic planning and product innovation over the coming months, as we continue to position ourselves at the forefront of geopolitical intelligence and corporate security consultancy.
