ThreatAware CEO to Present at Black Hat USA 2025

We're excited to announce that ThreatAware CEO Jon Abbott will be presenting at Black Hat USA 2025 in Las Vegas, alongside Clayton Krueger, Principal Architect for Information Security at Ascensus. Their session, "Enhancing Cyber Resilience and Streamlining Security in an Expanding Network of Devices," addresses one of the most pressing challenges facing CISOs today.

The CISO's Dilemma

Despite massive investments in cutting-edge security tools, organisations continue to fall victim to breaches through basic gaps they didn't even know existed. While security teams focus on defending against sophisticated nation-state attacks, cybercriminals are exploiting fundamental misconfigurations and overlooked devices. This creates what we call the "Cybersecurity Sophistication Paradox" – why 82% of breaches succeed despite "next-gen" security investments.

What You'll Learn

Join Jon and Clayton as they reveal how complete asset visibility and automated verification can transform your security posture. The session will cover:

Overcoming the Sophistication Paradox – Understanding why focusing on advanced threats while overlooking basic gaps undermines security programs, and how to prevent attackers from exploiting fundamental misconfigurations

Complete asset visibility and automated security processes that strengthen and validate your security effectiveness without increasing headcount or budget

Actionable strategies to demonstrate ROI and confidently report to your board that you've eliminated the fundamental gaps that enable successful attacks

Why This Matters

The hard truth is that your board expects bulletproof security, your budget is under scrutiny, and you're personally accountable for preventing the next headline breach. By ensuring complete visibility and confidence in the security of all assets, along with implementing verification methods that can't be socially engineered, you can effectively navigate risks, prove ROI to the board, streamline compliance reporting, and ultimately strengthen your cyber resilience.
