Today we are joined by Malu Septien Milan, President of Cryptopon, to talk about tying security to business value. We will start by explaining the gap between security and business expectations. This has an impact on how security teams scale as they become increasingly relevant in business operational risk where DevOps is driving “continuous everything”. We will then round off the discussion by turning to the business side to consider what they can do to help close the gap. In an era where going digital is a top priority, closing the security-business gap is crucial to balancing security with operational risk.
Today we are joined by Jack Freund, Head of Cyber Risk Methodology at VisibleRisk, to talk about cyber security risk and business value. We will start by discussing the gap between cyber security and business value. In bridging these two domains, we eventually need to consider different risk models. We will discuss cyber security risk modeling approaches and challenges. We will then conclude by looking at where cyber security risk modeling is going over the next 18 to 24 months. This discussion will serve both security and risk practitioners who focus on threat modeling or risk assessments and want to understand how their efforts can align with the broader trend around risk modeling.

Today we are joined by Ayhan Tek, VP of Information Security at Cyber Electra, to talk about how a security practitioner can help support compliance related security activities in software development. In order to make threat modeling scalable, the cross-functional nature of software development needs to extend beyond data flow diagrams into the business realm. Once in the business domain, the discussion turns toward risk. The long-term value of threat modeling, therefore, is in its ability to contribute toward risk assessments that will enable non-technical stakeholders to make informed decisions about security investments.
Today we are joined by Spencer Koch, Offensive Security Professional at Reddit, to talk about threat modeling and the issues with scaling the traditional processes. These days, we don’t have enough security practitioners to perform threat modeling on every system.
