About this event

Many organisations don’t have a complete picture of their systems or exposures making it difficult to manage risk effectively. This talk looks at how attack surface management and threat intelligence can work together to bridge that gap. By combining external insights with an understanding of what you actually have and how it’s exposed, technology and risk teams can move from reacting to incidents toward anticipating and spotting emerging threats, prioritising what matters most, and making better-informed decisions to reduce risk.

Hear from Shanna Daly, Head of Security Operations and Threat Intelligence at Healthscope, and you will:
  • Understand why visibility alone isn’t enough and how to uncover blind spots across your digital ecosystem.
  • Learn how to combine threat intelligence with attack surface management for a complete, real-time risk picture.
  • Discover ways to shift from reactive firefighting to proactive, intelligence-led security.
  • Gain techniques to prioritise what truly matters by aligning risk decisions with business impact.
  • Explore how to build a culture of foresight- turning insights into smarter, more strategic security actions.
