BSides Vancouver 2026

Boards are being asked to approve major investments in emerging technology. Today it may be AI, tomorrow quantum. Too often these decisions are driven by competitive pressure and promises of innovation, while the cyber implications remain loosely defined or entirely unmeasured. When value, risk, and resilience are not clearly understood, strategic decisions are made on assumptions, placing return on investment at risk.

This session dives into practical ways to quantify cyber value at the leadership level. The focus is on framing emerging technology through measurable impact, risk exposure, and organizational resilience rather than technical performance. Attendees will leave with concrete methods and insights that support confident executive decision-making.
