Title: Stop Playing Breakfast Jenga: Why Your Network Architecture Looks Like a Plate of Flat Pancakes

If your enterprise network resembles a haphazard stack of pancakes smothered in disparate security tools that refuse to talk to each other, your architecture is already screwed. This session exposes the nightmare of "Framework Fatigue" and siloed tech stacks. Learn how to use FESA to bring sanity back to your infrastructure, map controls directly to business goals, and stop pretending that a 17-console alert-storm equates to actual security.

When organizations attempt to patch vulnerabilities simply by layering on more technology, they often end up with a fragile, overcomplicated web of systems that collapses under pressure. This approach—often driven by framework fatigue and vendor hype—creates massive blind spots rather than robust defenses, leaving security teams drowning in an endless stream of uncoordinated alerts.

Rather than continuing to play a risky game of architectural Jenga, security leaders need a structured methodology to clean up the mess. By implementing FESA, organizations can cut through the noise, eliminate redundant tools, and align their technical controls directly with core business objectives to establish true operational stability.

We expect to issue at least 2 ISACA CPE for the event.  The presentation will be virtual from 12 to 2 with additional time for any Q&A.
