Over the last decade, cybersecurity heavily invested in EDR, XDR, SIEM, telemetry, and SOC-driven operations. We stopped asking how to stop attacks and started asking how fast we could detect them. However, Mythos and frontier models have changed that paradigm. How do you detect a -7 day vulnerability? Detection and response cannot keep, so what's the answer?
Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why cybersecurity is shifting from detection and response to prevention and enforcement. As attackers accelerate through automation and AI, organizations are revisiting prevention-focused controls. Rob will discuss why organizations need to adopt application allowlisting, Zero Trust, Ringfencing, and policy enforcement to reduce attacker freedom before execution occurs. Prevention-first security is the only way to decrease the AI attack surface.

As security leaders, we are continuously selling, maybe not as traditional sales folks, but as selling security across the organization. Whether you're closing client deals, leading a team, running a business, or simply wanting your voice to be heard by other executives or the board, we are selling. How can influence help?
Dan Rochon, Author of Teach to Sell, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss psychology of influence, personal transformation, and how to build trust that converts. Dan will cover the four pillars from his book:
Believe (in Yourself)
Find Business
Build an Organization to Scale
Leadership
And how they will help you overcome self-doubt, communicate confidently, and build careers that serve your life—not consume it.
