Take Command Summit 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most impactful cybersecurity events of the year, bringing together Rapid7’s own security experts alongside leading industry voices for a full day of insights into today’s evolving attack landscape. This virtual summit will offer actionable strategies, real-world case studies, and expert discussions designed to help security teams take command of their defenses.
While we’ll be revealing the full agenda soon, we’re excited to share a first look at some of the key voices joining us this year to explore proactive risk management and offensive security strategies. These industry leaders will be part of a speaker lineup that includes Rapid7’s own security researchers, SOC experts, and product leaders, all focused on equipping security teams with the knowledge they need to outpace today’s adversaries.
Building a Modern Approach to Risk and Exposure Management
Tyler Shields, Industry Analyst at ESG, brings more than 25 years of experience in cybersecurity research, threat intelligence, and market strategy. As attack surfaces grow—spanning cloud, identity, data, and applications—security teams must shift from reactive to proactive risk management.
At Take Command 2025, he’ll explore how organizations can prioritize risk signals across diverse attack surfaces to build smarter, more proactive defense strategies. His session will provide a roadmap for understanding evolving threats and ensuring security teams focus on the most critical risks before they escalate.
Staying Ahead of Attackers with Continuous Red Teaming
Will Hunt, IT Consultant at In.Security, is a recognized expert in red teaming, penetration testing, and security training, having delivered workshops at Black Hat USA, Asia, and EU. As cyber threats evolve, static defenses and annual penetration tests are no longer enough—security teams need continuous testing strategies to stay ahead of adversaries.
At Take Command 2025, Hunt will join a panel of security experts to discuss how red teaming is evolving in response to expanding and increasingly complex attack surfaces and helping organisations stay ahead of adversaries. This session will explore how proactive testing is helping organizations identify and eliminate weaknesses before attackers can exploit them.
More to Come: A Full Day of Cybersecurity Insights
Take Command 2025 is more than just individual sessions—it’s a full day of expert discussions, deep technical insights, and strategic guidance from some of the best minds in cybersecurity. In addition to these featured speakers, Rapid7’s own security leaders, researchers, and SOC practitioners will provide critical perspectives on:
- The evolving threat landscape and attacker mindset
- How AI is redefining security operations and automation
- Managing risk exposure across complex environments
