Presentation: The Illusion of Security: Why You're Still Getting Hacked

Description:

Picture this: overnight, your business loses access to its most valuable data or worse, it's stolen and exploited. The insights, experience, and information your company has built over years aren't just tools, they're your competitive edge in today's high-speed business world. That's why robust security policies are essential. But here's the catch, focusing too narrowly on certain defenses can create dangerous blind spots. This "tunnel vision" can leave you wide open to attacks you never saw coming. In this session, I'll reveal how these overlooked vulnerabilities turn into costly breaches with lasting reputational damage and what you can do to prevent it.
