The cyber threat landscape continues to grow, and CISOs need to make faster, more confident decisions about which exposures to fix and which to safely ignore. With 82% of security leaders reporting an increasing gap between vulnerabilities/exposures and their ability to address them, what are the strategies CISOs should employ to continually improve their security posture? Join this session to learn how continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) strategies can greatly enhance security posture.
Specifically, you’ll hear:
- Why the disconnect exists and CTEM’s 5-step approach.
- How to reduce risk and increase efficiency with a comprehensive exposure management approach.
- How to measure and report security posture gains to the board

The complete entanglement of cyber risk with business risk is becoming increasingly visible. CISOs now have an opportunity to better pinpoint third parties that present a threat to the organisation. Yet the increasing complexities of third party, and even fourth party, risk management, prompted by a wide range of evolving threats, demands heightened attention. How can CISOs ensure they have a clear overview of the threat landscape and vulnerabilities across ecosystems and supply chains?
Join this session to discuss:
- Identification of vulnerabilities across your vendor landscape to prioritise response efforts
- Best practices for mitigating a new wave of sophisticated attacks to keep assets safe
- The role threat intelligence plays in risk management strategies to safeguard your digital ecosystem

SaaS applications power today’s business, and downtime or compromise will pause operations. Despite the increase in SaaS-first strategies, Security teams continue to rely on perimeter-based SASE and IDP solutions which do not match the complexity of the SaaS-native attack surface. This boardroom will encourage you to look inside your SaaS systems to match secure configuration with advanced detection and response capabilities. Specifically, you will discuss how to:
- Bypass Zero Trust strategies and the mitigating controls to consider
- Advance your detection & response programme to maintain a cohesive security posture
- Ensure your metrics to measure SaaS Security are effective to keep up with attack surface
