Fireside Chat Overview
This session focuses on the gap between having controls in place and being able to rely on them when it matters.
Key discussion points include:
- Why incident response plans often fail during real breaches
- Where organizations overestimate their security posture
- The disconnect between compliance requirements and actual risk reduction
- Challenges in managing and securing modern endpoint environments
The goal is simple. Help organizations move from static, checklist-driven programs to security strategies that hold up under pressure.

The discussion will feature Raymond Cheng, CEO and Founder of Decrypt Compliance.
