TBM Tuesday | Demonstrating Cybersecurity Business Value with ECI & Lockheed Martin

When:  Jan 13, 2026 from 08:30 to 09:00 (PT)

Join us as Jonathan Strauss, CTO at Espeut Consulting, and Deirdre Peters, Lockheed Martin expert in Zero Trust, discuss the growing scrutiny on Cybersecurity budgets and how best-in-class organizations are successfully demonstrating ROI and business value to substantiate these investment decisions.

According to PWC’s Global Trust Insights Report, 51% of CISOs cannot demonstrate ROI and 52% of executives say their cybersecurity budgets are now being challenged by CFOs and boards. In this discussion you’ll get insights into:

  • The Balancing Act - how to stay financially disciplined while committing to security
  • Communicating Value - best practices to communicate value and pitfalls to avoid
  • Alignment - how to close the gap between security professionals, technologists, and finance
  • Value - how can risk, resilience, and compliance reporting better align with business value, as opposed to technical jargon
  • IRIS Framework - how Espeut Consulting, with collaboration from the TBM Council and FAIR Institute, created the IRIS Framework - which can provide clarity on ROI and accelerate investment decisions

Espeut Consulting is advising enterprises who were struggling to reframe Cybersecurity from Cost Center to Strategic Catalyst. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the IRIS Framework, the underlying maturity assessment, and how to get started.
