The Cyber Defense Matrix enables organizations to define clear categories for the range of products and services that are available in the marketplace to solve our various infosec problems. This model removes confusion around the security technologies that we buy and helps organizations align their vendors to have the right suite of capabilities to execute their information security mission.

Understanding the Cyber Security Vendor LandscapeSounil Yu
We are often inundated with vendors offering their products and services to solve our various information security problems. How can you make sense of the wide range of technologies and ensure that your control gaps are being covered? Where are opportunities for technology disruption? Where are you overly reliant on technology? This is a framework for understanding security technologies so that you can align vendors in the right bucket to ensure that you have the suite of technologies that you need to execute your information security mission.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
