An executive lunch for senior security and technology leaders, hosted in London by Nomios. A small group of peers, expert-led discussion over lunch, and a practical conversation about vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and risk prioritisation in an evolving threat landscape.
Why this matters
Most security teams aren't short of vulnerability data. They're short of a reliable way to decide what to do with it.
New CVEs land daily. Scanners flag thousands of findings across an estate that never stops changing. Remediation backlogs grow faster than teams can clear them, and every unpatched item is a judgement call: fix this now, accept the risk, or move on to the next fire. Meanwhile, boards want assurance that risk is going down, not just that patching is happening.
The organisations getting this right aren't the ones with the most tooling. They're the ones who've worked out how to separate genuine risk from noise, using threat intelligence, business context, and a clear view of what's actually exploitable in their environment, rather than treating every very critical-rated CVE the same way.
Join the conversation
Following his popular session at Nomios Next, Jacob Dobson, Head of Security Operations at Nomios, is bringing the discussion to an executive lunch in London.
Drawing on his experience working with organisations across a range of industries, Jacob will share his perspective on the current state of vulnerability management, how to separate noise from risk, how emerging technologies are influencing the threat landscape, and why threat intelligence is becoming a critical part of effective prioritisation.
Through practical insight, open discussion and the opportunity to ask questions, attendees will hear both the Nomios perspective and from a security leader grappling with the same challenges. Together, we'll explore how organisations are approaching vulnerability management today and where security teams should be focusing their efforts next.
What You'll Gain from the day
The challenge facing most security teams is no longer identifying vulnerabilities. It's knowing where to focus attention, resources, and remediation efforts to reduce risk effectively.
This executive lunch is designed to provide practical perspectives, peer insights, and actionable ideas that you can take back to your organisation.
A clearer view of the vulnerability management landscape
- Understand how security leaders are responding to growing vulnerability volumes, remediation backlogs, and increasing pressure to demonstrate risk reduction.
Insight into how AI is changing the threat landscape
- Explore how advances in frontier models such as Mythos and other emerging technologies are influencing vulnerability discovery, exploitation, and defensive strategies.
Real-world perspectives
- Hear first-hand experiences from a security leader navigating the challenges of balancing cyber risk, operational priorities, and business expectations.
A better understanding of threat intelligence-led vulnerability management
- Discover how threat intelligence can help security teams focus on the vulnerabilities most likely to be exploited and most relevant to their organisation.
Honest discussion with peers facing the same challenges
- Exchange ideas, experiences, and lessons learned with fellow security leaders in an open and collaborative environment.
Actionable takeaways to strengthen your programme
- Leave with practical ideas to improve prioritisation, support risk-based decision-making, and drive better outcomes from your vulnerability management efforts.
What Happens on the Day
We'll start with introductions and networking before Jacob Dobson shares his perspective on the current state of vulnerability management and why many organisations are rethinking how they prioritise risk.
From there, lunch will be served and the conversation will open up to the room, with perspectives from both Nomios and industry peers. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and discuss the realities of managing vulnerability risk when resources are finite and the list of vulnerabilities keeps growing.
The afternoon will conclude with a look at how threat intelligence is helping organisations focus on the vulnerabilities that matter most, along with plenty of opportunities for networking throughout.
- 12:30pm - Arrival, networking and refreshments
- 1:00pm - Lunch served and discussion begins
- 3:00pm - Formal close. For those able to stay a little longer, drinks will be available, providing an opportunity to continue the conversation and connect with fellow security leaders.
Los Mochis, London
This executive lunch will take place at Los Mochis London City, where Mexican and Japanese cuisines unite in bold, refined flavour combinations.
Guests will enjoy a delicious food while engaging in frank and honest conversations with peers facing the same vulnerability management, risk prioritisations, and the challenges facing modern security teams.
Perched above Broadgate in the heart of the City of London, Los Mochis offers panoramic skyline views and a relaxed setting. Conveniently located just a short walk from Liverpool Street Station, it's the ideal place to step away from the day-to-day and exchange ideas with fellow security leaders.
