Resources • Talks & Events

Sessions that turn
complex risk into shared understanding.

Talks & Events from Wolfe Defense Labs are built for people who make decisions: security leaders, operators, IT, and business stakeholders who need a clear, credible view of how attacks actually work — and what to do about them.

Executive & board briefings Deep-dive technical sessions Workshops & tabletops

Every talk draws from current Labs work, incident experience, and real tenant realities — not just slideware.

What we run

Sessions that match how your team learns.

Different groups need different levels of depth. We design Talks & Events so executives, engineers, and operators each get what they need — without drowning anyone in jargon or oversimplification.

Briefings

Executive & leadership briefings.

Focused sessions for boards, executives, and business leaders that connect threat reality to business risk, resilience, and investment decisions.

  • Plain language explanations of modern attacks
  • What’s realistic to expect from security teams
  • Tradeoffs between speed, cost, and assurance
Deep dives

Technical and operator sessions.

Hands-on focused talks for defenders, engineers, and IT — walking through tooling, logs, and patterns they can take back to their own environment.

  • Cloud & SaaS attack path breakdowns
  • Detection and logging walkthroughs
  • Configuration and hardening patterns
Workshops

Interactive workshops & tabletops.

Collaborative sessions built around scenarios: your team talks through decisions, we bring what we’ve seen work (and fail) elsewhere.

  • Scenario-driven IR tabletops
  • Roadmap and backlog shaping workshops
  • “What if this happened here?” design reviews
Example themes

Topics that resonate with modern teams.

We rotate topics as threats and platforms change, but a few themes keep coming up — especially for organizations deep into Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and SaaS.

Living off the cloud

How modern attackers persist in M365, Entra ID, Workspace, and SaaS — and what it means for logging, detection, and IR planning.

  • Realistic cloud-first attack paths
  • What traditional IR gets wrong in SaaS estates
  • Practical steps to improve resilience

AI, automation, and security

Where AI actually changes the threat and defense landscape — including data exposure, attacker leverage, and new detection opportunities.

  • AI as an amplifier for both sides
  • Governance vs. real security controls
  • How to talk about AI risk with leadership

“Good enough” security and its limits

Why checkbox compliance and half-implemented controls often fail exactly when you need them — and how to prioritize changes that matter.

  • Where control sets quietly fall down
  • Signals of fragile vs. resilient programs
  • Conversation starters for honest risk discussions
How organizations use these

Anchor points for change, not just one-off talks.

A strong session can accelerate decisions, unstick stalled conversations, and give your team a shared vocabulary for what “better” looks like.

Kickoff for security initiatives
Use a talk or workshop to kick off a new security initiative — cloud exposure reduction, IR revamp, or program maturity work — and align stakeholders early.
Board & leadership alignment
Briefings help leadership understand current risk, why certain investments matter, and what realistic timelines look like.
Upskilling and retention
Give defenders and operators access to current thinking and tradecraft outside of a purely vendor-centric view of the world.
Partner & customer education
Some clients co-host sessions with their own customers or partners to raise the security bar across their ecosystem.
Custom-fit
Content tuned to your industry and stack.
Action-oriented
Every session points to concrete next steps.
Replayable
Often paired with follow-up workshops or reviews.

Planning your next security session or event?

We can help you shape a briefing, workshop, or series that fits your audience — and ties directly into your security roadmap rather than sitting on an island.
