2026 is the year the agents joined the workforce, and they are not on the payroll. Unlike traditional applications, they can reason, use credentials, access sensitive data, connect to tools and execute actions with varying degrees of autonomy.
For 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, each evening is an opportunity to benchmark challenges and approaches alongside regional CISO peers.
How do we know which AI agents are running, who owns them and what systems, tools and data they can access?
How should we manage non-human identities, delegated authority and access privileges when agents act on behalf of people?
How do we introduce proportionate safeguards without slowing down AI adoption and business transformation?
Who is accountable when an AI agent makes an unintended decision or takes an unauthorised action?
How are you preparing for the implementation of the EU AI Act?
How prepared are we for prompt injection, agent manipulation, tool misuse, malicious MCP connections and AI-driven data exfiltration?
What does effective monitoring, intervention and containment look like when agents operate autonomously?

Share what’s working, what’s missing and where the industry needs to innovate.
Meet a carefully selected group of fellow CISOs and senior practitioners in an informal, confidential setting.
London · Wednesday 18 November
An icon of London hospitality, The Savoy has welcomed distinguished guests for more than a century. Overlooking the Thames and steeped in history, its Princess Ida and Patience Room combines timeless elegance with the privacy and intimacy ideal for our CISO 360 Dinner Roundtable.
Manchester · Thursday 19 November
Set in the heart of Manchester, The Rex (formerly Hotel Gotham) brings a distinctive blend of Art Deco glamour, character and contemporary luxury. Housed in one of the city’s landmark buildings, the elegant Reign Room provides an intimate and atmospheric setting for candid conversation over dinner.
AI agents are entering the workforce with access to tools, data, MCP servers and enterprise workflows. Straiker helps companies put those agents to work safely. It is building AI agent security for the next era of enterprise AI, helping organisations discover agentic activity, red team AI agents for real attack paths, and defend agents at runtime.
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 insight of innovators working at the forefront of emerging security challenges.
