When a cybersecurity incident occurs, some organizations recover quickly while others struggle for weeks or Think Like an Intelligence Analyst: How to Prioritize Cyber Risk When Everything Feels Urgent
On-Demand Webinar
Most IT leaders aren’t short on threats to worry about. They’re short on time to deal with all of them.
New vulnerabilities, competing priorities, and tight budgets make it difficult to decide where to focus, especially when you’re responsible for cybersecurity without a dedicated security team.
In this Defendify webinar, Ross Young, CISO Tradecraft, shares practical ways to evaluate risk, test your assumptions, and put limited resources where they can make the most difference.
Drawing on more than two decades of experience across intelligence, financial services, and cybersecurity leadership, Ross explores how to look beyond compliance checklists and tool purchases to understand what’s actually protecting your organization.
The conversation includes real-world banking examples, approachable tabletop exercises, and audience questions about securing small organizations and getting leadership support.
Watch the instant replay to explore practical ways to strengthen your cybersecurity program.
