The CISO's Inheritance: Taking Command of a Stack You Didn't Build

A live session for new-in-post CISOs: see how an inherited security stack becomes a board-ready plan with ESProfiler's Security Reality Baseline.

You have inherited 75 or more tools, a licence bill nobody can fully explain, and a board that expects a view on all of it within the quarter. The people who knew why each tool was bought have moved on, and what they knew left with them.

Most new CISOs spend their first 90 days mapping tool capabilities to frameworks and internal taxonomies by hand. That work consumes exactly the window in which a new security leader has the most licence to act.

This session shows how the Security Reality Baseline handles that mapping, live, on a realistic multi-vendor estate.

What the session covers

  • How an inherited stack gets mapped against the frameworks and taxonomies your organisation already uses

  • Where overlap, coverage gaps and underused capability sit, and how they surface

  • How the knowledge held by your engineers gets captured instead of lost in handover

  • What a board-ready summary of current risk, trapped value and reclaimable spend looks like

Who it's for

CISOs and security leaders in their first year in post, and those preparing to step into a new role. Bring questions; there is time for them.

Speaker

Louis Holt, CEO, ESProfiler
15+ years across counterterrorism cyber forensics, BT’s Computer Emergency Response Team, and enterprise security at Symantec and Broadcom.
