CISO 360 Dinner Roundtable & Guinness Tasting & Tour Experience

Real-Time Threat Defence in the Age of Machine-Speed Attacks

Join fellow CISOs from the UK's leading organisations for an immersive evening at Guinness Open Gate Brewery London—Guinness' brand-new experimental brewery in the heart of Covent Garden. This exclusive dinner combines a guided behind-the-scenes brewery tour, tasting session, and the chance to learn how to pour your own pint of Guinness, before transitioning into a private, seated dinner and closed-door CISO discussion designed to encourage real conversation in an informal setting.

Dinner Experience

The evening begins with an engaging brewery experience at what is already being talked about as the largest and most distinctive Irish pub experience in London, having opened its doors only in December 2025. This immersive, informal approach creates the right atmosphere for genuine peer connection before the serious work begins. Once seated, the focus turns to substance—providing CISOs with the space for honest, practitioner-led dialogue without the rushed networking dynamics of traditional events.

Discussion Focus

As attack timelines compress and threats operate at machine speed, this private roundtable brings CISOs together to benchmark what the current threat landscape actually looks like in real time and how peers are adapting when human reaction time may no longer be the primary control. Rather than future-state theory or vendor narrative, the discussion is grounded in live operational reality—how visibility is evolving, where manual processes are breaking down, and how CISOs are strengthening real-time defence without losing control.

This is a practitioner conversation. No selling. No performance. Just CISOs comparing notes on what feels solid, what feels fragile, and where confidence is shifting as security operations quietly reshape around better real-time threat understanding.

Why This Conversation Matters

CISOs need shared clarity on what is happening now, what signals can be trusted, and how to operate with confidence when traditional response timelines prove inadequate against automated threats. This roundtable creates space for honest comparison—what's working in practice, what feels vulnerable under pressure, and where reliance on enhanced real-time threat understanding is changing how security teams actually operate day-to-day.

No slides. No sales. No vendor theatre—only strategic insights from Reliance Cyber sharing what they're seeing across the landscape. Just CISOs comparing reality under the Chatham House Rule in a trusted, practitioner-led environment focused on what actually matters.

What to Expect

An evening of candid discussion, practical insight, and peer learning grounded in the Pulse way: trusted, practitioner-led, and focused on operational reality. This unique format combines the memorable experience of Guinness Open Gate Brewery with the substantive, closed-door dialogue CISOs need to navigate the complexities of machine-speed threats, real-time defence requirements, and the evolving role of human judgment in modern security operations.
