Why do smart people make irrational decisions?

"The Snack Monkey: Why Smart People Make Irrational Decisions" is a masterclass at the CISO Inspired Summit London.

The Snack Monkey is the instinctive part of the brain that picks comfort, reward and certainty over long-term goals. It explains far more than finishing the packet. It shapes how we lead, manage risk, handle pressure and put off difficult conversations.

Matt White, Author of The Snack Monkey

Matt spent more than twenty years in senior executive roles, most recently as Director of Cyber Advisory and Application Security, and was selected as a Big Four firm's cyber security media spokesperson. He watched intelligent people make the same irrational decisions at scale, then realised the same shortcuts were running his own habits. A former GB Paraclimbing athlete and a 2026 Cyber Security Awards judge, he makes behaviour clear, practical and memorable.

His message: knowledge and willpower are rarely enough. Small changes to environment, choices and accountability work better.

Where does instinct overrule your judgement?

What made the CISO Inspired Summit valuable for Mahesh?

His review gives the answer: the quality of the discussions, and the chance to hear from inspiring leaders.

He also called it a great opportunity to connect, share ideas and learn about the latest technologies, emerging trends and the future direction of the industry. And he praised how well organised it was.

That is what the day is built for.

Thank you Mahesh for taking the time to write it. He is looking forward to the next one, and so are we.

What makes an event worth your time?

Which AI tools are running on your endpoints?

Defending Against Hidden Risks of AI Tools in the Workplace is a masterclass at the CISO Inspired Summit London.

AI tools can transform productivity. They can also multiply risk. Agentic systems act on their own. If compromised or misused, they can expose sensitive data, bypass controls and open new attack surfaces.

🔺Seamus Lennon, Vice President of Operations EMEA, ThreatLocker

Seamus has more than twenty years in IT. Before ThreatLocker, he was an IT Technical Manager at a managed service provider, delivering solutions to small and medium sized businesses. Today he helps organisations across EMEA adopt strong protection for their digital environments.

You will leave with two practical things. A way to find the AI tools already running across your endpoints. And a Zero Trust approach to governing them without slowing legitimate work.

If an AI agent acted on its own tomorrow, would you see it?

Inspired Mondays: a campaign can ask customers to trust you. Only the experience can prove it.

Angelene Woodland, Chief Marketing Officer at Together, is clear on this. Helping move customer NPS from -22 to +3 taught her that you can’t communicate your way out of a poor customer experience. The organisation has to change what it actually does.

In financial services, she says, trust is the most important commodity, and marketing’s job doesn’t end when the customer arrives. It extends to making sure the experience lives up to the brand.

Your Monday question: is your brand promise something you deliver, or only something you advertise?

AI adoption is scaling. Is readiness keeping up?

The AI-ready enterprise needs a secure access fabric is a headline session at the CIO Inspired Summit London.

AI is firmly on the board agenda. The questions have moved on. Where can it create value? How fast can it scale? How do we avoid new risk?

Once AI moves into business processes, it reaches far more of the IT estate. The data it can access. The identities behind it. The devices, applications, cloud platforms, networks and security controls around it.

Three Nasstar speakers, from operations, technology and pre sales:

🔸Leigh Walgate, Chief Operating Officer, Nasstar
🔸Sean Morris, Chief Technology Officer, Nasstar
🔸Ross Duke, Pre Sales Consultant, Nasstar

Which part of your IT estate is least ready for AI?

The Security Paradox: Protecting the Business Without Holding It Back

Every CISO knows the tension. Lock things down too tightly and you slow the business. Loosen the reins and you expose it.

As threats grow more sophisticated and regulation keeps rising, the security leader’s role is changing fast.

This panel opens the day at the CISO Inspired Summit UK. It brings together leaders who are redefining what a CISO is today. Not the department of “no”. A strategic partner who drives growth, innovation and agility, with strong security foundations underneath.

Joining the panel:

🔹Vivek Marwah, GSK
🔹Jia Fu, British Film Institute
🔹Noman Qureshi, dnata
🔹Harriet Sharma, SEFE Securing Energy for Europe

Moderated by Deborah Haworth.

Spanning pharmaceuticals, film and culture, aviation and travel services and energy, the panel offers a view across industries on how security leaders are:

Rethinking how they manage risk in a fast moving business
Communicating security in the language of the boardroom
Enabling transformation rather than blocking it

It is the start of a day themed Building Resilience, with CISOs and security leaders from across the UK and beyond.
