Beyond the Rollout: Driving Real ROI Through Aligned Security Operations

For CISOs and IT leaders, achieving lasting ROI from security investments isn’t just about choosing the right technology—it’s about ensuring architecture, engineering, and support operate as a cohesive unit. When these teams are disconnected, the result is often missteps in configuration, slow resolution times, and poor user experiences.

This session explores how aligning strategic planning with day-to-day execution and long-term support can unlock the full value of your investment. From designing for operational success to building clear ownership models and reducing complexity across the stack, we’ll share actionable insights to help you create a high-performing, cross-functional approach that delivers measurable outcomes from day one—and every day after.
