Defense Wins Championships: Building a World-Class Security Team

Every championship team is built the same way — one position at a time, one gap closed at a time. This session maps the eleven positions of a world-class security defense to the threats they stop, the gaps they close, and the attacks they were built to defeat. Because in cybersecurity, like in football, defense doesn't happen by accident. It happens by design.

• Why most security programs have gaps they don't know about
• How elite teams build layered defense — and what security teams can learn from it
• The eleven positions every organization needs covered
• Which positions are most commonly left exposed
• What a championship-ready security program actually looks like
