Beyond efficiency: What happens when risk is left behind?

Cutting tech costs without opening the door to hidden risk.

HotTopics Food for Thought In partnership with 

How far can technology leaders simplify, consolidate and cut costs before efficiency starts creating risk elsewhere?

82% of technology leaders rank operational efficiency and cost reduction as a top priority. Yet just 21% say the same about regulatory compliance and risk management.

With pressure to do more with less, simplifying the technology estate makes sense. But as organisations consolidate platforms, reduce complexity and accelerate transformation, what risks are being introduced or simply going unnoticed?

Join HotTopics and One Identity over lunch at In de Waag, Amsterdam for an off-the-record conversation with fellow technology leaders about where to make the right trade-offs between efficiency, security and control.

Together, we'll explore:

• Where can technology leaders reduce cost and complexity without increasing operational risk?
• When does tighter control start getting in the way of productivity and innovation
• How can security investment be positioned as business value rather than another cost to control?
• What hidden risks should leaders be looking for as technology estates are simplified?
