CISO 360 Dinner Roundtables | London & Manchester

AI agents are moving from answering questions to taking action. Is security keeping pace?

AI agents are increasingly being introduced across business functions, software development and enterprise workflows. Unlike traditional applications, they can reason, use credentials, access sensitive data, connect to tools and execute actions with varying degrees of autonomy. For fellow CISOs, this introduces a new set of questions. Who knows which agents are operating across the enterprise? Who is responsible for their actions? How do we govern the permissions they inherit, test their behaviour and prevent legitimate access from being misused? How do we enable the business to embrace agentic AI without creating new security blind spots?

Join fellow CISOs and senior security leaders in London or Manchester for an intimate, interactive dinner discussion exploring the emerging realities of AI agent security, governance and control.

Together, we’ll examine how to identify and manage agentic risk, where existing security approaches may fall short, and how to enable AI innovation without introducing unacceptable exposure. Shaped by the priorities and experiences of those attending, we can’t wait to bring the discussion to London and Manchester,  an opportunity to benchmark challenges and approaches alongside regional CISO peers. 

Questions for the Roundtable:

• Visibility and Shadow AI: Do we know which AI agents are running, who owns them and what systems, tools and data they can access?
• Agentic identities and permissions: How should we manage non-human identities, delegated authority and access privileges when agents act on behalf of people?
• Governance and accountability: Who is accountable when an AI agent makes an unintended decision or takes an unauthorised action?
• New attack paths: How prepared are we for prompt injection, agent manipulation, tool misuse, malicious MCP connections and data exfiltration?
• Testing and assurance: How can we test AI agents for real-world vulnerabilities and unsafe behaviours before and after deployment?
• Runtime security and control: What does effective monitoring, intervention and containment look like when agents operate autonomously?
• Enabling innovation: How do we introduce proportionate safeguards without slowing down AI adoption and business transformation?

Complimentary attendance | Invitation-only | The Chatham House Rule

Places around the table are limited to encourage meaningful discussion and ensure every participant has a voice.

We look forward to meeting you either in London or Manchester!

• Pulse Conferences is your Master of Ceremonies.
• These are structured, interactive discussions where everyone contributes, questions are welcomed and practical experiences matter.

• Benchmark with peers. Compare approaches to AI agent discovery, governance, identity, assurance and runtime protection.
• Explore an emerging security frontier. Understand how agentic AI changes the threat landscape and what this means for existing security controls.
• Meet the innovators. Hear directly from Straiker about the new risks and attack techniques its team is observing, and challenge the thinking with your own experiences.
• Contribute your perspective. Share what’s working, what’s missing and where the industry needs to innovate.
• Build valuable connections. Meet a carefully selected group of fellow CISOs and senior practitioners in an informal, confidential setting.
• Practitioner-Led. Innovation-Supported: we believe practitioners and innovators are pieces of the same security jigsaw. Our roundtables bring together the operational realities faced by CISOs and the specialist insights of innovators working at the forefront of emerging security challenges.
