Plante Moran Presentation Abstract: In today’s evolving threat landscape, effective cybersecurity requires a holistic, layered approach to mitigating threats. This engaging session introduces the “Heroes of Cybersecurity,” each representing a vital layer of defense: administrative, physical, and technical controls. Through creative storytelling intermingled with practical scenarios, participants will meet unique characters, who together demonstrate how robust policies, vigilant physical safeguards, and advanced endpoint protections work in concert to defend organizations against real-world threats. Attendees will journey through interactive “battles” against insider threats, social engineering, and ransomware, learning how perimeter security, zero trust policies, and endpoint protection form the backbone of resilient cyber programs. The presentation emphasizes the necessity of layered controls and highlights the pivotal role of audits and accountability in sustaining effective risk management. Key takeaways include actionable strategies for implementing layered defenses, the importance of continuous improvement through audit and assessment, and how collaboration across control groups empowers institutions to stay ahead of emerging threats. This session is designed to inspire and equip attendees to champion comprehensive risk management, leveraging both technical expertise and strategic leadership.
