True cyber readiness isn’t measured by checklists or patch reports, it’s proven in the fight. Drawing on lessons from elite military units, Dan will explore why static assessments fail and why continuous, adversarial testing is the only way to understand real risk. 

You’ll learn how examining real attack paths, from credential theft to lateral movement, reveals measurable gaps in resilience, connects technical findings to business impact, and informs smarter security decisions. The session provides a framework for “training like you fight”: continuously testing the environment, closing the gap between discovery and remediation, and building security that adapts and strengthens over time.
