Cybersecurity strategies only hold up when the people, processes and governance structures behind them are tested - not just documented. In this session, security leaders from public administration and enterprise organizations discuss what it actually takes to embed cybersecurity into corporate strategy, from crisis committee simulations and business continuity testing to board-level reporting that drives real budget decisions.

The session will explore:

• Why business continuity plans fail in practice, and how testing documentation with people outside the day-to-day workflow reveals gaps that internal teams consistently miss;
• How to build board-level awareness of cyber risk without jargon, using industry benchmarking, traffic-light exposure dashboards and real incident case studies to shift conversations from compliance to investment;
• What the most effective KPIs for communicating cyber risk to senior leadership actually look like, including human risk scoring, VIP collective tracking and peer comparison metrics that resonate at executive level.
