Executive roundtable series

The Consolidation Exchange

Enterprises are stitching together point solutions to secure AI transformation, when analysts expect most will be forced to consolidate onto one platform anyway.

For security, network, infrastructure and technology leaders.

Region
APAC, six cities

October to November 2026

The premise

Complexity is the real exposure.

// every integration is a seam. every seam is a gap.

A stack assembled from best of breed parts is not the sum of those parts. It is the sum of the seams between them, and the seams are where policy drifts apart, where telemetry does not reconcile, and where nobody is quite sure which control was authoritative.

That is the starting point for this series. Not a product session, and not a briefing. A table of senior people working through what consolidation actually costs, what it forces you to give up, and how to sequence it without a two year gap in coverage.

Six cities across APAC, between October and November 2026. Each table runs under the Chatham House Rule.

What the table will cover

Three questions on the table.

Each table works through the same three questions, shaped by what the room brings to them.

Counting the seams

The first question is a census: how many vendors sit in the path between a user and an application, how many consoles a single incident touches, and how long it takes to answer a question that spans more than two of them.

// tension: the stack was assembled, not designed

What single vendor really means

Consolidation is easy to say and hard to buy. This session looks at where the line falls between a genuinely converged architecture and a vendor portfolio sold as one, and what evidence distinguishes them at procurement.

// differentiator: cloud-native convergence rather than a stitched stack

Securing agents on the same fabric

Non-human identity is arriving faster than most consolidation programmes were scoped for. The table works through whether agentic workflows get folded into the same controls or spawn yet another point solution.

// trigger: native non-human identity controls for agentic workflows
The series

Six cities. One fabric.

Each city is its own table with its own room, confirmed independently. Registration of interest is open now, with dates and venues confirmed city by city.

Organisations are increasingly standardising on unified platforms to simplify operations, secure AI transformation, and defend against AI-powered threats.

Who is convening this

About the hosts.

Cato Networks

Cato Networks was founded on the argument that networking and security should never have been separate purchases, and built a single cloud-native platform rather than acquiring one. That decision is the whole company.

It has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SASE Platforms for three consecutive years, with annual recurring revenue passing $350 million.

Innovatus Media

Innovatus Media is a Sydney based B2B events agency that runs invitation-only executive roundtable series across APAC, EMEA and North America.

We convene senior decision makers for closed door conversations on the problems they are actually working on, and produce every element of the series end to end, from the room and the table to the follow up.
