Tackling tech debt: A CISO’s practical approach to managing legacy infrastructure

This webinar discusses how CISOs can transform vulnerability scan outputs into actionable business decisions, particularly in environments burdened by legacy systems. It highlights challenges such as fragile infrastructure, operational constraints, and the difficulty of prioritizing vulnerabilities when resources are limited. The session emphasizes balancing productivity with protection and translating technical severity into business impact that executives can understand.

The presentation outlines a practical formula for gaining executive alignment and funding by tying vulnerabilities to real-world incidents, demonstrating operational benefits of remediation, and reframing modernization as a necessity rather than an optional security expense. It also connects this leadership approach to exposure management and continuous validation as mechanisms for prioritizing real risk rather than simply reducing vulnerability counts.
