Join us for a candid CISO panel lunch at Infosecurity Europe

Hear directly from CISOs on building trust in cybersecurity sales

In the middle of the madness of Infosecurity Europe, take a breather—and take part in a real conversation.

MemoryBlue, Eskenzi PR, and 7Demand are co-hosting an invite-only lunch designed for marketing, sales, and channel leaders from top cybersecurity vendors. You’ll hear directly from a panel of bold, respected CISOs about what it takes to build trust, break through the noise, and stand out in today’s crowded market.

Event Details

🗓️ Date: 4 June 2025
⏰ Time: 12:30–14:30 BST
📍 Location: Fremantle, Crowne Plaza (10-minute walk from ExCeL London)

Meet the Panelists:

The discussion will dive into questions like:

What kinds of vendors or partners actually stand out—and why?
How do CISOs want to be approached by sales and marketing teams?
What messaging instantly builds trust (or kills it)?
What do CISOs truly value in a partnership?

This won’t be recorded, there are no slides, and it’s completely off the record—just a smart, no-fluff conversation designed to raise the quality of vendor communication across the board.

Space is limited to 40 participants. Request your seat by filling out the form and we’ll follow up with confirmation details.

Mission: Cyber: Panel Protocol
The world is under constant cyber siege. AI is everywhere. Shadowy nation-states lurk in VPN logs. Finance won’t approve your EDR renewal. When hope seems lost, the world calls upon an elite force of professionals—untraceable, unpredictable, and almost certainly on their third coffee.

This isn’t Marvel. This is Mission: Cyber-Possible—a special operation of five agents with more acronyms between them than an ITIL textbook. They don’t wear capes. They wear hoodies under blazers.

James “Cruise Control” Gosnold – The Lead Operator
He doesn’t walk. He runs. Full tilt. Down corridors of bureaucratic delay and over walls of legacy tech. James is the team’s Ethan Hunt—if Ethan Hunt also mentored junior analysts, wrote brutal truths on LinkedIn, and could casually reverse-engineer an incident report while updating his CV.

With a background that spans public sector missions to private sector crusades, he’s been everywhere, seen everything, and probably solved your cyber problem three weeks ago… you’re just now realising it. If there’s a mission no one else dares to take, James already accepted it—and brought snacks.

Kevin “The Infiltrator” Fielder – DevSecOps Disruptor, CISO, NatWest Boxed & Mettle
Kevin’s role? Getting into the system, staying unnoticed, and securing your stack before you’ve even realised you left port 22 open to the world. He’s the stealthy infiltrator of cloud environments—breaking into misconfigured IAM like a man disarming a bomb with a rubber band and a kubectl command. If there’s a Dev team refusing to talk security, Kevin parachutes in and has them threat modelling in under an hour. He’s like a red team with better manners.

Brian “The Handler” Brackenborough – CISO, Channel 4
Every impossible mission needs a voice in the shadows. That’s Brian—calm, calculating, and cooler than a crypto wallet in Antarctica. He’s the one calling the shots, delivering dry one-liners over comms as the team fumbles through chaos. Also moonlights as a DJ, because of course he does.

Brian once defused a major broadcast-level cyber incident and mixed a Garage classic at Fabric in the same week. He’s the glue, the gravitas, and—let’s be honest—the only one here who could genuinely pass for MI6 if the lighting’s right.

Shan “The Insider” Lee – CISO, DocPlanner
You need someone on the inside. Someone who understands the human terrain. That’s Shan. His cover story? “Building security culture.” But really, he’s reading your behavioural analytics like a novel and coaching CISOs on the art of not sounding like a security awareness email from 2011.

Equal parts therapist and threat intel whisperer, Shan blends seamlessly into your org and leaves you wondering why security wasn’t this emotionally intelligent before he arrived.

Jitender “The Architect” Arora – CISO, Deloitte NSE
The mission looks impossible. The infrastructure is a mess. The risk register’s on fire. You need a blueprint—enter Jitender. Calm, collected, and always 17 steps ahead, he’s the guy who builds the plan while executing it. He’s like the IMF’s version of an Excel wizard with the soul of Sun Tzu.

Also: if you ever hear Jitender say “interesting” in a meeting, you should already be sprinting toward the SOC.

Mission: Possible
Together, they form the Cyber-Possibles—a team so elite that the NCSC pretends they don’t exist just to avoid awkward panel comparisons.

They don’t wear masks, but they do handle breaches, board briefings, and three-hour vendor demos with impossible grace. Whether it’s nation-states, nation-scale egos, or noncompliant shadow IT, these operators are ready.

So choose your mission: join them, question them, or try to outwit them. Just remember—this panel self-destructs in 45 minutes, or whenever the AV guy unplugs the mic.

Light the Fuse….
