These days in cybersecurity, there’s no shortage of alerts, tools, or dashboards, but CISOs still lie awake asking two questions: Are we at risk, and can we respond?

In this fireside chat, Ron Eddings sits down with Tony Velleca, CEO of CyberProof and former CISO, for a conversation on mastering security complexity with a threat-led defense strategy. Drawing on CyberProof’s three-pillar framework, Cybersecurity Estate Management, Threat Exposure, and Defense Management, Tony shares how leaders can simplify their programs, focus where it hurts most, and bring clarity to the boardroom. Along the way, they’ll discuss why asset visibility is the foundation of AI-readiness, how to move past “patch everything,” and why risk scoring needs a rethink.

Fireside Chat: The Threat Led Future - Thinking Like An Attacker

Today’s CISOs face a growing visibility gap across fragmented IT, cloud, and hybrid environments. Join us to explore how Cybersecurity Estate Management helps you regain control by delivering a real-time, risk-aligned view of your entire digital estate.

In this session, you'll learn how to:
 - Continuously discover and classify assets—including unmanaged and unknown ones
 - Enrich asset data with security context like exploitability, business impact, and exposure
 - Prioritize remediation based on risk—not just vulnerabilities
 - Align asset visibility with business governance and regulatory compliance
 - Integrate with threat-led frameworks like CTEM to validate defenses and improve response

Designed for security leaders, this session outlines how to evolve from static inventories to dynamic, intelligence-driven estate management that reduces risk and enhances operational confidence.

How to Reduce Risk and Blind Spots: Continuous Asset Discovery Across Cloud and IT Environments

Every enterprise claims to know their assets… until something slips through the cracks.

Join Ron Eddings and Daniel Deeney, co-founder and CEO of Paladin Cloud and now Executive at CyberProof, for a live fireside chat that pulls no punches on the industry's biggest blind spot: incomplete asset inventories. Daniel breaks down the emerging discipline of Asset Estate Management, a term coined alongside a CISO of a large enterprise organization to describe how cloud complexity, misaligned tooling, and unreliable CMDBs are exposing organizations to unnecessary risk.

This session is a battle plan for classifying assets into managed, unmanaged, and suspicious states, and why that distinction could save your enterprise from a catastrophic oversight. Plus, Daniel will share how agentic AI could radically transform cybersecurity workflows, starting with your asset estate.
