BSides Philadelphia brings the community-run BSides model to the City of Brotherly Love for a full day of talks, workshops, and a Capture the Flag. Part of a global network of locally organized conferences that started in 2009, the event is built by Philly-area practitioners for security folks at every career stage, with a focus on accessible, community-driven learning. More than 640 practitioners are expected this year, and Bishop Fox is glad to be part of it.

Jess Weiland, Account Executive at Bishop Fox, joins a panel of security leaders from the New York Giants, Radian, Trinseo, and St. Luke’s University Health Network to talk about the risks organizations knowingly decide to live with. Expect a candid look at budgets, technical debt, and the tradeoffs every CISO makes when “fix everything” isn’t an option.

If you own a risk register, defend a budget, or have ever had to explain why something stays unpatched, this one’s for you. Catch the panel and come say hello to our team.

“No, We’re Not Fixing That: How Security Leaders Decide What Risk to Live With”

Speakers:

Date/Time: Friday, December 11

Abstract: Cybersecurity is full of guidance about what organizations should fix, but far less is said about what security leaders intentionally choose not to fix. Every CISO operates with finite budgets, technical debt, competing business priorities, and more risk than any organization can realistically eliminate. This panel brings together experienced cybersecurity leaders for a candid conversation about the uncomfortable reality of risk acceptance.
