Take Command 2025 is officially in the books. From the opening sessions to the final takeaways, the summit delivered a full day of high-impact discussions, fresh research, and powerful stories from across the cybersecurity spectrum.
This year’s event brought together cybersecurity leaders, researchers, red teamers, and policy experts for an honest look at the challenges we’re facing—and the tools, tactics, and mindsets helping us take command in a complex threat landscape.
We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and proud of the conversations that unfolded throughout the day. If you missed any sessions or want to rewatch key moments, every session is now available on demand.
A Day of Firsts: New Research, New Tools, Real Stories
One of the standout moments came during Inside the Mind of an Attacker: Navigating the Threat Horizon session, where Raj Samani and Trent Teyema previewed findings from Rapid7’s latest ransomware intelligence. Based on data from Q1 2025, the discussion touched on shifting attacker tactics, the growing professionalism of ransomware groups, and the need for visibility and response readiness at every level.
Another highlight was Ted Harrington’s keynote, From Zero to Hero: Building the Perfect Defense, which challenged us to reimagine security architecture from the ground up. Ted emphasized bold thinking, Zero Trust foundations, and security’s role as a business enabler—not a roadblock.
Technical Deep Dives and Practical Playbooks
This year’s agenda wasn’t just aspirational—it was tactical. The SOC team took us inside real-world threats in Expert Stories from the Frontlines of Threat Hunting and Malware Detection, sharing lessons from active ransomware and MFA-bypass investigations.
In Risk Revolution: Proactive Strategies for Exposure Management, speakers laid out practical frameworks for prioritizing risk across cloud, identity, data, and application layers. And in Demystifying Cloud Detection & Response, panelists explored how SOC teams can bridge traditional and cloud-native security gaps using the right integrations and context-rich telemetry.
We also heard from customer leaders during Expert Tips to Future-Proof Your VM Program, where panelists from Cross Financial, Miltenyi Biotec, and Phibro Animal Health discussed the shift from vulnerability management to exposure-led strategies.
Compliance, Resilience, and Looking Ahead
With global regulations evolving fast, From Chaos to Compliant session offered clear, actionable guidance for navigating global compliance legislations, such as SEC, NIS2, and DORA amongst many others—without compromising operational efficiency. Sabeen Malik and Lara Sunday reminded us that compliance, done right, can be a catalyst for organizational resilience.
And in one of the most engaging sessions of the day, The Tempest Two shared stories of adventure and mindset that resonated with security teams striving to adapt, overcome, and lead with purpose in high-pressure environments.
