Threat-Based Security Risk Management – A Zero Trust Evolution

In an increasingly complex and fast-moving security threat, controls and risk landscape, it's easy to get lost in data, tools, and competing priorities. This session explores how to build risk management techniques that serve your organisation. There are many ways to judge risk, and many views on security threats and vulnerabilities. We talk about Zero Trust approaches, but can you truly justify why and what is needed and the impact it will have on reducing the risk? There is a need to model and understand what threats are most relevant to your organisation, and how they could exploit your environments to gain their desired outcomes e.g. criminal gangs looking to sell data or ransom you. This session demonstrates modelling aligned to real threat intelligence and testing outcomes, and how this equates to defined business risk. Key Takeaways: - Storytelling for Impact – How to communicate Zero Trust risk insights effectively to senior management. - Reshaping with Fundamentals – Using core principles to drive meaningful organisational change towards Zero Trust. - Cutting Through the Noise – Transforming overwhelming data into actionable, realistic models. - Truth in Tools – Ensuring risk frameworks reflect reality, not just theory.
