What does cybersecurity actually look like inside real organizations? At ROCon EMEA, this customer panel brings together practitioners from companies including Hachette, BT, Maersk, and Direct Line Group to share how they’re managing cyber risk at scale—across thousands of assets, distributed teams, and constantly evolving threats. The conversation cuts through theory and focuses on what actually works. From building a single source of truth for assets, to shifting from volume-based vulnerability management to risk-based prioritization, the panel highlights the practical decisions that drive real outcomes. A recurring theme is ownership. You can’t reduce risk if no one owns it. Several speakers emphasize the importance of mapping assets to accountable teams, giving application owners visibility into their own risk, and aligning security with business operations. The discussion also surfaces common pitfalls. Poor tagging strategies, fragmented data, and lack of stakeholder buy-in can stall even the best tools. In contrast, organizations that invest in automation, dynamic asset tagging, and cross-team alignment are able to scale their programs far more effectively. Another key shift is moving away from “fix everything” models toward focused risk reduction. By narrowing attention to the exposures that actually matter—and communicating that risk in business terms—teams are able to drive faster decisions and stronger executive support. The takeaway: tools don’t solve cybersecurity problems—operating models do. And the organizations seeing results are the ones that combine visibility, ownership, and automation into a system that actually works. Recorded live at ROCon EMEA.
