In this session, Smarttech247 and ThreatLocker bring together Raluca Saceanu and Danny Jenkins to examine the changing threat landscape and what it means for enterprise security.

You will hear how to frame cyber risk in clear business language that resonates with executives, board members, and other stakeholders.
The discussion will cover how leadership teams are adapting strategies to meet new threats, where Zero Trust and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) fit into broader business goals, and how to build long-term resilience. The speakers will share how to secure executive buy-in for critical security initiatives and align priorities with what boards actually care about, from measurable ROI to protecting brand trust and regulatory compliance.
Expect practical guidance you can act on, backed by real-world insight from two frontline experts.

About ThreatLocker
ThreatLocker transforms cybersecurity by moving from a "default allow" model, where everything is permitted unless blocked, to a "default deny" model. In this approach, all actions are blocked by default, with only explicitly approved activities allowed. This shift enhances security, reduces vulnerabilities, and sets a new standard for protecting organizations from cyber threats.
