The Trust Collapse

Rethinking open-source risk like a risk officer, not just a security engineer

An Elite dinner for CISOs and senior technology leaders carrying accountability for code their organisation depends on but did not write.

📍 Private dining room, Manhattan 🕐 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm ET 👥 One table. A select group of senior technology leaders

Request your seat

On the table

CISOs already know how to underwrite counterparty risk.

This dinner asks why that same discipline hasn't yet been applied to open-source intake.

Permissionless by Default

Your risk team wouldn't onboard a counterparty without due diligence. Why does engineering still treat public package registries as permissionless by default?

Coverage or the Feeling of Coverage

The latest attacks are built to behave differently under an automated scanner than in production. Is point-in-time scanning still a credible primary control, or a false sense of coverage?

The Gap Nobody Has Claimed

As AI coding assistants enter the pipeline, attackers are already hiding instructions inside the files those assistants trust. Who owns that gap: security, platform engineering, or no one yet?

Four Days to Decide What Is Material

Under NYDFS Part 500 and the SEC's four-day material incident disclosure rule, how fast could you actually determine whether a compromised dependency is "material"?

Does Your Board Use the Words

Has your board ever asked about open-source risk by name, or is it still buried in generic third-party risk?

This is a peer conversation, not a pitch. Come ready to network and discuss.

The dinner experience

Every seat carries weight.

There is no stage, no deck and no pitch. Guests are seated at a single table so the conversation stays whole rather than splintering into side discussions.

An experienced moderator keeps things moving under the Chatham House Rule. Numbers are held deliberately low, and every guest is a peer, which is what makes the candour possible.

Featured Speaker

Opening the conversation

Paul brings frontline experience helping large enterprises get control of the open-source and third-party code their business depends on.
