SUMMIT AGENDA
Prove Once
Defend Everywhere
Defend Everywhere
Your security team's work has more audiences than ever before. Boards want exposure translated into business language. Auditors want the reasoning behind every AI decision. Compliance teams need evidence that controls are working. And the customer evaluating you wants proof of your security posture up front, so their review clears in days, not weeks.
Most platforms force your team to redo that work in a different shape for every reader. This Summit shows you how to do it once, and defend it everywhere it’s needed.

Agenda
Opening Remarks
The New Demand: Prove It
Phil Ross, CISO
Every reader of your security work can now ask "prove it," and most teams answer that question four different times, four different ways. See how one decision can defend itself everywhere.
Insight Sessions
What’s New in Q3
The AI Standard for TPRM Teams
Letecia Allen, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Vendor Risk
Would you bet your next audit on an AI summary you can't trace back to the evidence? See what good AI should actually deliver for TPRM teams, and how Risk Automations turns that assessment into a repeatable workflow.
From Signal to Story: Turning Threat Noise into Board-Ready Answers
Kurt Brown, Senior Product Manager, Breach Risk
62% of security leaders can't tell their board whether they're actually getting safer. See how Threat Posture turns thousands of external signals into one board-ready narrative, with the evidence trail attached.
From Discovery to Decisive Action: The New User Risk Action Center
Joe Nalewabau, Senior Product Manager, User Risk
One customer expected 20 approved apps. User Risk found over 80 running underneath. See how the new Action Center turns that discovery into prioritized action, then how Risk Automations routes it straight into the tools your team already uses.
Speed-to-Close: Make Security the Sales Accelerator
Kat Walker, Customer Success Team Lead
A two-week security review is two weeks of deal slippage, and the slower vendor loses. See how new NDA and access approvals, plus self-serve subprocessor listings, turn the review from a bottleneck into a reason deals close faster.

Russell Scott shares how he's rebuilding the process to scale, including what he does when a vendor is too critical to walk away from, even if their security score says otherwise.
