'Too many tools, not enough outcomes: how security can rebuild bridges with the business'

Security has acquired a bad rep in too many companies. Inflexible policies, intrusive blocking and productivity-sapping processes have eroded employee good will over the years. It’s hardly surprising that shadow IT continues to grow. By one estimate over half of UK employees use unsanctioned consumer AI tools at work every week.

That’s bad news for security teams. The typical corporate attack surface was spiralling out of control even before the AI revolution. Now it’s expanding at speed and scale with every unmanaged chatbot and autonomous agent.

At the same time, adversaries are getting harder to spot. They’re hiding in more sophisticated ways by using legitimate system tools. And disabling XDR to leave SecOps analysts flying blind. Even if their detection and response is working, signals often get lost in the noise. Many end up chasing dead ends while false negatives sneak in under the radar.

Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be like this. If you’re a CISO who wants to build bridges with the business without sacrificing security outcomes, you’ve come to the right place. Join Bitdefender and a select group of your peers for an evening of candid conversation and delicious food that will help to inform and delight in equal measure.

You’ll hear how to reduce the attack surface precisely and dynamically, in order to minimise risk without impact end users. How to tune out alert noise in the process. And align security with business outcomes — to tell a positive story about risk and resilience to the board.

In short, join us for a glimpse of a better future.
