RSAC Monday | San Francisco. Pulse Unplugged: CISO x CMO x CEO 360 Fireside Lunch
RSAC Monday | Pulse Unplugged
CISO x CMO x CEO Fireside Lunch
Trust at the Table in the Era of AI & Social Media
Start the week with a dynamic, invitation-only fireside lunch bringing together 3 distinct cyber tribes - CISOs, Cyber CMOs, Founders/CEOs - for a candid conversation on how security and marketing leaders can better communicate value, cut through noise, and build credible narratives that resonate with boards, customers, and the market. What has fundamentally changed in how trust is built, tested, and communicated in the AI and social platforms era? How can Cyber CMOs truly stand out in a crowded marketplace? How can CMOs and CISOs work together to build lasting trust in cybersecurity brands? Who truly owns AI risk and reputational risk?
Hosted only a 7-minute walk from Moscone Center, this dynamic networking event is designed to bridge the CISO-CMO-CEO worlds that depend on each other, yet often struggle to align - and rarely engage together on stage!
The lunch blends informal networking with a moderated fireside discussion with plenty of time for audience Q&A!
Monday 23 March 2026 | 12:30 PM – 3:00 PM

“I’ve been to a LOT of RSAC side events in my time & Cyber Fangs is up there in my favourites. Standing room only, great food, great discussion & super sharp remarks from Caleb & Gary that were on point for what CISOs were thinking (but not saying) at that moment. Sparked a lively debate of CISOs vs. CMOs which was well worth my time & left me with some great ideas & new friends! I’ll be back in 2026!” CISO, Anecdotes"
