Security leaders can no longer rely on activity to demonstrate effectiveness - they’re held accountable for outcomes. As attackers move faster and complexity increases, CISOs must decide what actually matters, what can be ignored, and how much risk is acceptable in real time.

Through a candid discussion, CISOs and industry experts explore what “good” MDR actually looks like in practice, how leaders measure effectiveness beyond alert volume, and where responsibility truly sits. Attendees will gain practical insight into how MDR supports faster, more confident decision-making, enables risk tolerance in the face of attacker speed, and helps organizations focus on outcomes rather than activity.
