9:15 – 10:15 am: Continuous Threat Exposure Management
Bryson Bort, CEO, Scythe.io
If defenders think in lists and attackers think in graphs, then Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) is the next step for enterprise defense. Moving from point in time thinking, this process continuously identifies and actively prioritizes threats. You can’t fix everything, but you can fix what matters most.

Dewayne Alford, Vice President of Security Operations, Digital Hands
The SEC Passed the Cyber Regulations on July 26, 2023. The new rules require publicly traded companies to provide investors with information surrounding cyber practices and material breaches so that investors can make informed investment decisions about a company. This is also important for private companies who may face much stricter cybersecurity disclosure requirements under their contracts with their publicly traded customers. The panel will discuss the rules, how to approach materiality under these new rules, and what you need to do to be prepared for a call from the SEC if you have a data breach, using a few real-world examples.
