Map It or Miss It: Seeing Weak Spots Before Incidents

Cyber risk isn’t just IT - it’s business. Discover how to map dependencies across your organisation and supply chain!

Hear from one of our very own chapter members, as we launch our new speaker series for 2026 with this session “Map It or Miss It: Seeing Weak Spots Before Incidents”. In this session Bob Smart will explain how cyber risk isn’t just a “security problem”, it’s a service‑delivery business issue and to stay in control, leaders need to understand which business services matter most, what they depend on across suppliers, people, locations, information, and technology, and where single points of failure are hiding.

During the session Bob will demonstrate how the SPLITer methodology maps Suppliers, People & Processes, Locations, Information, and Technology to uplift enterprise resilience. This dependency mapping turns technical complexity into operational‑resilience intelligence that executives and auditors can act on. You’ll learn practical ways to map dependencies using existing documents to identify concentration and supply‑chain risk, and clearly articulate when security, technical or business changes introduce new availability risks, enabling risk owners to make informed trade‑offs before incidents force the decision.

Who should attend: Current members, students, and professionals
