In this ROCon APAC 2025 panel, leading security executives explore how cyber risk becomes meaningful only when translated into business, financial, and operational terms. This conversation brings together: Jonathan Trull — CISO & SVP, Security Solution Architecture, Qualys Sudarshan Singh — Head of Cyber GRC, Capgemini Dr. Aditya Khullar — CISO & DPO, Adani Group Karthikeyan Dhayalan — AVP & Head of Global Cyber Operations, Cognizant Muneer H. KongaWani — AGM & CISO, J&K Bank The panel digs into the shift from technical dashboards to dollar-driven impact, why CISOs must frame risk in business language, and how organizations can use both qualitative and quantitative methods to determine risk acceptance, appetite, and prioritization. Key themes from the discussion: • Why boards care about financial impact, not CVSS scores • Moving beyond heatmaps into measurable business risk • How multi-stakeholder committees decide what risk truly matters • Translating vulnerabilities into operational and reputational impact • The role of exploitability in determining true risk • Why CISOs must contextualize threats in business terms (loss, outages, materiality) • How to determine when a risk should be accepted, mitigated, transferred, or escalated • Real-world examples of BFSI-sector risk quantification, geopolitical cyber impacts, and resilience under attack This is one of ROCon APAC’s most important conversations — a practical blueprint for aligning cybersecurity, finance, and business leadership around a shared understanding of risk.
