Transforming raw data to actionable insights using AI

Too many organizations operate in the dark when it comes to cyber risk.  

Security teams are drowning in data from countless cybersecurity tools – each telling a different story but not one giving the full picture. These fragmented tools, inconsistent data, and manual analysis leave hidden control gaps undetected. Security leaders are living with risk they can’t see, can’t measure, and can’t remediate quickly. 

Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) turns data into action, unifying control data to get a single, trusted view of your cyber risk posture. 

Designed for security teams managing sprawling environments, this session explores how Panaseer’s CCM platform delivers accurate, real-time, contextualized insights - uncovering previously hidden risks, automating trust in control data, and enabling security teams to manage and report on control effectiveness with clarity and confidence. 

You’ll see how Panaseer gives teams the oversight to own their security performance, prioritize remediation based on real risk, and prove control effectiveness to stakeholders. 

Learn how to: 
- Consolidate and normalize data from multiple security tools into one trusted platform
- Identify and prioritize cyber risk based on known business context
- Replace error-prone manual reporting with automated, reliable insights   

Understand how security leaders use Panaseer to replace fragmented data with a single source of truth and make their cyber risk measurable, manageable, and meaningful. Clear insights. Confident decisions. All in just 15 minutes.

Uncover hidden cyber risk and own control effectiveness

What's the main cause of security breaches? Most business executives would probably point to zero-days or sophisticated hacks, but the reality is more mundane. 

In this webinar, Dave Ferguson from the Bank of England joins Panaseer's Nick Lines to discuss why control failures continue to be a huge problem for security teams. Using the findings from a recent Dark Reading report, they explore: 

Why cyber hygiene should be a higher priority

Exploring key drivers: transforming raw data to actionable insights using AI

Too many security dashboards lull leadership into complacency by showcasing a sea of reassuring green. In this highlight reel, veteran CISO Jim Routh argues that true resilience starts when discussions centre on reds. 

In less than three-minutes, Jim covers: 
- How to reframe red metrics as actionable priorities rather than bad news
- Ways to prioritize resource allocation and policy updates to resolve reds and document the control improvements regulators expect
- Why creating a culture that celebrates tackling reds as proof of proactive governance leads to a more resilient organization

Embrace the reds: turning alerts and compliance dashboards into strategic action

In this rapid-fire briefing, CISO Andy Jaquith unveils his disciplined approach to risk management that cuts through noise and bureaucracy. Rather than wrestling with hundreds of theoretical threats, Andy shares how to:

- Pinpoint the 20 - 30 most salient risks that genuinely threaten mission success.
- Map each risk to relevant controls, revealing powerful patterns of overlap.
- Replace scattershot control inventories with a concise “play map” executives can understand and fund.

Ideal for CISOs and security executives seeking a pragmatic blueprint for aligning finite resources to the controls that matter most, this talk reframes risk reduction as an exercise in strategic control consolidation, linking to frameworks and regulations where necessary.

The CISO play-map for tackling top cyber risks using automation

Former Global CISO Oli Newbury challenges the dangerous comfort zone of periodic compliance checks and bureaucratic inertia that leaves organizations vulnerable between assessments. He exposes the critical flaw in traditional compliance thinking: the false security of assuming "everything's fine because it was fine last time we looked."

In this essential discussion, Oli breaks down:
- Why it's time to take stock and challenge entrenched bureaucratic compliance processes
- The fundamental shift from periodic snapshots to dynamic, continuous risk visibility
- How continuous compliance transforms your entire risk profile, not just reporting efficiency
- Moving beyond automation as a reporting tool toward real-time risk intelligence

Oli's insights reveal why the security leaders who are applying continuous compliance frameworks are building the most resilient organizations - ditching the dangerous illusion of point-in-time compliance in favor of always-on risk awareness.

Why continuous compliance is the new risk reality

Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever, with AI-powered attacks connecting multiple vulnerabilities and driving the down the time-to-exploit. It's impacting the way we now must measure and approach cyber risk.

Join us for an deep dive into Panaseer's compound risk metrics with Director of Product Nick Emanuel as he explores how this latest innovation exposes the hidden dangers traditional security metrics often miss.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

- Why compound risk metrics matter now more than ever
- How toxic combinations (hidden intersections of control gaps) create unseen but high-impact risk
- Why siloed signals and isolated metrics fail to tell the whole story
- How compound risk metrics provide contextual, actionable insight to inform better security decisions

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to identify, measure, and act on risks your existing controls assurance and reporting may be missing.

How to surface hidden risk hiding in your cyber security metrics

Group Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and security strategist Elaine Bucknor challenges the status quo of rigid compliance frameworks that have become a business liability in today's dynamic threat environment. In under three minutes, she exposes how traditional "checkbox approaches" create a false sense of security while actually functioning as anchors that prevent organizations from responding effectively to modern challenges.

In this thought-provoking reel, Elaine explores:
- Why compliance-as-doctrine fails in the face of geopolitical threats and supply chain disruptions
- The critical difference between doing what's "required" versus what's "absolutely necessary" for business protection
- Strategies for creating responsive security environments that anticipate and adapt to regulatory changes

Ideal viewing for CISOs, security executives, and compliance leaders on-the-go who recognize that yesterday's rigid frameworks won't protect tomorrow's dynamic businesses.

Why breaking free from checkbox compliance can lead to strategic cyber agility

Tired of the manual burden of audits, many cybersecurity teams are turning to automation and a continuous compliance approach.

In this 2 minute highlight reel, seasoned CISO Andreas Wuchner reveals the strategic mindset shift that transforms compliance from a burden into a natural outcome. He quickly uncovers why traditional compliance approaches fail and demonstrates how building robust, monitored control frameworks creates a foundation where regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions become manageable side effects rather than primary objectives.

An ideal watch for CISOs, compliance officers, and security leaders looking to move beyond checkbox compliance toward sustainable, strategic risk management that scales across regulatory environments
