Speaking Session: From Track to Tactics: What Formula 1 and Pro Sport Teach Us About Cyber Strategy and Resilience
In elite sport, from the Formula 1 paddock to the rugby field, success relies on precision strategy, relentless adaptability, and resilience under pressure. The same is true for cybersecurity. As adversaries innovate and attack surfaces expand, security leaders must look beyond reactive defenses and instead adopt the mindset of world-class teams: anticipate threats, adapt in real time, and execute with discipline. This session draws lessons from both motorsport and professional sport, showing how their high-performance approaches map directly to cyber resilience.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Translate Formula 1 principles of speed, telemetry, and adaptability into actionable cyber strategies.
