If the Channel Would Change One Thing. . .

3 CISOs answer the one question they rarely get asked 

Sunday, July 05, 2026 | 5 MINS

Unpatched asks the questions most of our channel is afraid to ask the very people shaping cybersecurity buying decisions. 

In this episode, we ask a simple question with a surprisingly complex answer: if the channel could change one thing about vendor and sales channel engagement, what would it be? 

Spoiler alert: There’s more than one thing! 

Taking place during CyberSync, our 'Fringe' event alongside InfoSecurity Europe our participants in this episode are

Stuart Seymour - Group CSO and CISO, Virgin Media O2

Matt Adcock - CISO, Nielsen IQ

Nick Prescot - CISO, CyberKainos and Norgen

Host:  Max Sherwood, co-Founder of the Amigos Network

If you see yourself taking part in one of these discussions, ask us about our 2 AM Club Enabler Programme or join us during Black Hat Europe 8/9 December at Zero Sette Restaurant and Bar, ExCeL

If the Channel would change one thing . . .

CISOs are ready to engage, but timing matters. 

This conversation explores why major industry events create valuable windows of opportunity, and how sales and marketing teams can make the most of them by understanding buyer roadmaps, priorities and the right moment to follow up.
