CISO 360 Roundtable: Secure by Design
Tuesday 23 January 2024 | 17:30-21:30
The Royal Air Force (RAF) Club | The Battle of Britain Suite | London
Secure by Design is a bit of a current buzz word. The latest thing to attract our attention in the world of cyber security.
Put simply, Secure by Design is building in security at every stage of the product life cycle, from pre-concept through to disposal.
How do we make security part of the process, not something that runs in parallel to mainstream engineering? Cyber security tends to sit on its own, with its own separate set of specialists and parallel processes, it is seen as a bolt on rather than an integral part of the through life process.
How much cultural change is needed to think about security as something that is integrated rather than a separate thing?
The discussion has moved towards principles based security, where the guidance tells you what to do but not necessarily how to do it. It gives you the freedom to choose your own approach and implement it in ways that suit you, your products and your business.
We invite you to connect with peers over a private dinner to discuss and compare tactics and strategies for Secure by Design. Kindly sponsored by QinetiQ and hosted by Pulse Conferences, a QinetiQ strategist will co-steer the discussion working alongside a Chief Information Security Officer.
Conducted under The Chatham House Rule, Pulse Conferences will be your Master of Ceremonies for the evening.
Given the topic and the unique prestigious venue, The Royal Air Force (RAF) Club, a ‘hidden gem’ in the heart of Mayfair, this is certain to be a full table.
Please R.S.V.P. below to confirm your complimentary place in the Battle of Britain Suite!
There is no cost to attend.
We very much look forward to welcoming CISO and senior cybersecurity practitioners as our guests.
Yours sincerely,
Team Pulse

The Battle of Britain Suite | The Royal Air Force (RAF) Club | London
The CISO 360 Dinner Roundtable will hosted at the The Royal Air Force Club in the Battle of Britain Suite. The modern, yet classic, Battle of Britain Suite incorporates both the Spitfire Room and Hurricane Room.
The Royal Air Force (RAF) Club first opened its doors on 1st January 1917 with the name the Royal Flying Corps Club at 13 Bruton Street, Mayfair. Financed by Walter Bersey, it was a small residential club for flying officers on leave from the Front. Located in the heart of London’s Mayfair, from the bustling streets of Piccadilly, you will enter a remarkable building. The Royal Air Force Club celebrated its one hundredth year since formation in 2018 with a visit by our late Royal Patron, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Combining RAF and aviation heritage with a host of excellent modern facilities, accommodation and dining, the Club currently counts around 25,000 Officers and Former Serving Officers of the Royal Air Force and their families as valued members. Members and guests enjoy a ‘home from home’ in central London and a warm welcome in a historic environment.
We are delighted that this wonderful Grade II listed building steeped in history will host the CISO 360 Roundtable: Supply Chain!
