Security leaders are expected to strengthen protection while enabling faster business change. In practice, many large organisations are still constrained by legacy security models where even routine firewall changes for new applications can take weeks.

As hybrid and multi-cloud environments expand, security policies grow in volume and complexity, visibility declines, and the human effort required to manage false positives, alerts, and rule changes continues to increase.Industry data consistently shows that the majority of breaches stem from configuration issues rather than technology flaws, a challenge amplified by millions of firewall rules, IP addresses, and ports that are difficult to interpret, maintain, and explain to auditors.

At the same time, ransomware attacks, regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, DORA, and NIS2, and rising insurer expectations are forcing CISOs to demonstrate not just compliance, but measurable resilience and operational control.

This closed roundtable lunch brings together peers to share perspectives on how modern segmentation strategies are being used to reduce complexity rather than add to it. The discussion will explore how organisations are moving from traditional perimeter-based models toward practical segmentation step-by-step, from macro controls to microsegmentation, in order to improve visibility, reduce false positives, shorten change cycles, and lower overall risk. The focus is on real-world experiences, quick wins, and sustainable approaches that support both security outcomes and business performance.
