After-Hours Risk, Identity Exposure and the Limits of In-House Security Operations
An invitation‑only roundtable for security leaders focused on where operational coverage breaks down, how risk is being absorbed, and what organisations are doing in practice to manage growing exposure. This roundtable is designed for CISOs, CIOs, risk and compliance leaders, and senior security and technology executives responsible for governance, assurance, and incident response.

Restricted Attendance
CyberCon is three days of sessions, panels and keynotes. This lunch is not that. For sixty minutes, we take a small group of senior leaders out of the convention centre and into a private space nearby.
Bring your questions, your challenges, or a topic you haven't raised candidly at a conference.
Expect a good lunch, a genuinely interesting room, and enough time to have a real conversation before heading back for the afternoon sessions.

The Conversation - What's Actually Worth Talking About
A few genuinely current topics on hand to spark conversation. What we're planning to raise:
01
Tolerance vs. Posture
Most organisations have a stated risk tolerance and an actual one, and the gap between them only shows up under pressure.
- Where does your organisation actually sit, and where does it think it sits?
- Has that gap ever surfaced in an incident, and what did it cost you?
02
The Governance Gap
Controls on paper are not the same as controls in practice, and the difference rarely gets tested until something goes wrong.
- What controls exist on paper that aren't being applied day to day?
- Who's actually checking, and how often?
03
When the Big One Lands
Every serious incident eventually gets traced back to something, a control that was never built, or one that was there and quietly ignored.
- Is it usually a missing control, or one that was there but not applied?
- What made the difference between catching it early and not?
04
AI in the SOC
Every SOC now has some form of AI in the stack. The question is whether it's catching things faster, or just adding another dashboard.
- Where has AI-assisted triage genuinely shaved time off response, versus added noise?
- Is anyone seeing AI used against them yet, deepfakes, AI-written phishing, or worse?
