Security conflicts usually aren’t about tools or code—they’re about unclear decision rights, fuzzy risk language, and mismatched incentives. In this session, Tom Scott (vCISO and cyber governance leader) shows how to translate cybersecurity risk into product-ready decisions that engineers and leaders can execute without slowing delivery.

You’ll learn a simple, repeatable approach to: define risk in business terms, align controls to what the organization actually values, document decisions without bureaucracy, and prevent “security theater” while still reducing real exposure. Attendees leave with lightweight templates (risk statement, exception memo, and security decision brief) they can use immediately to move from debate to decision—fast.
