Never Waste a Good Cyberattack breaks down how to turn chaos into advantage: driving modernization, winning resources, fixing broken processes, and finally getting security the seat at the table it needed before things caught fire. This session will cover lessons learned, hard truths, and how to turn “never again” into sustained change.
