During this dinner Robbin Hof, CISO at Menzis, will take us through his experiences with threat-driven cyber resilience exercises, and how these realistic scenarios can be used to strengthen organizational preparedness and business resilience. Rather than focusing on technical findings alone, he will discuss how these outcomes can be used to help executive teams improve crisis governance, communication, and decision-making in a safe but highly relevant environment.

While Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) is becoming a regulatory requirement for specific financial institutions, its underlying principles are valuable for organizations across all sectors. Robbin will share how the principles behind TLPT and adversary-led testing can inspire organizations to design realistic cyber crisis exercises, helping boards, executives, and crisis teams build confidence and resilience against the cyber incidents they are most likely to face.
