Inside the Take Command Summit 2025 Agenda: What’s in Store for This Year’s Event?

The cybersecurity landscape is shifting fast—ransomware is evolving, AI is reshaping security operations, and regulations are becoming more complex than ever. Security teams are under pressure to outpace adversaries, manage risk, and defend against sophisticated threats.

That’s why Take Command 2025 is built to deliver the most relevant, actionable insights security leaders need to navigate these challenges. This full-day virtual event brings together top security minds—from Rapid7’s experts to industry analysts and frontline defenders—covering the strategies, tools, and intelligence to help you take command of your attack surface.

A pre-recorded message from Rapid7 CEO Corey Thomas is already live on our event site, providing an inside look at what you can expect from Take Command 2025, and how our global summit will help security teams stay ahead of emerging threats.See the full list of speakers and watch Corey Thomas’s message on the Take Command 2025 registration page.

A Glimpse Into This Year’s Key Themes

This year’s agenda is packed with deep-dive discussions, real-world case studies, and expert insights on the most pressing security topics today. Here are just a few of the key focus areas you can expect at Take Command 2025:

Understanding the Evolving Threat Landscape

Cybercriminals are always one step ahead—until you learn to think like they do. This panel discussion, led by Raj Samani, Rapid7’s Chief Scientist, will explore the latest attack methodologies, emerging ransomware tactics, and evolving adversary behaviors.

Raj will be joined by Trent Teyema, Founder and President of CSG Strategies, a former FBI Special Agent (SES retired), as they analyze real-world attacker techniques and share how security teams can leverage threat intelligence to anticipate and disrupt threats before they escalate.

Session: Inside the Mind of an Attacker: Navigating the Threat Horizon

AI & Cloud Security: Opportunities and Challenges

AI is transforming cybersecurity, but how can organizations implement it responsibly and effectively? Take Command 2025 will examine:

  • The future of AI-powered security operations—what’s hype vs. reality?
  • How SOC and MDR teams are leveraging AI to improve detection and response
  • Cloud security challenges and why cloud detection & response (CDR) is becoming a critical SOC capability

Thom Langford, Regional CTO at Rapid7, will host this discussion, featuring Ted Harrington, Executive Partner at ISE (the Company of Ethical Hackers). Together, they will explore how AI-powered, Zero Trust-based security models are changing how organizations approach risk and resilience, and what the next era of cybersecurity defense will look like in our ‘From Zero to Hero: Building the Perfect Defense’ session.

Exposure Management & Red Teaming: Proactive Security in Action

Security teams can’t afford to wait for attacks to happen. Implementing proactive security strategies are critical. Take Command 2025 will explore:

  • How red teaming is evolving to match today’s complex threat landscape
  • Real-world lessons from leading vulnerability management programs
  • Why organizations are shifting from traditional vulnerability scanning to proactive exposure management

Industry analyst Tyler Shields (ESG) and offensive security consultant Will Hunt (In.Security) will lead key discussions, sharing practical insights on prioritizing risk, testing defenses, and staying ahead of attackers.

With NIS2, DORA, SEC regulations, and other global mandates becoming more prescriptive, CISOs need to stay ahead of compliance changes—but these evolving policies also present an opportunity to strengthen security programs.

Sessions will focus on:

  • How regulatory frameworks are reshaping security practices across industries
  • Key compliance challenges for global organizations and strategies for staying ahead
  • The intersection of security, policy, and business risk—how to turn compliance into a competitive advantage

Sabeen Malik, Rapid7’s VP of Global Government Affairs & Public Policy, will help demystify cyber regulations, compliance challenges, and evolving data residency concerns in ‘From Chaos to Compliant: Demystifying Cyber Regulations’.

More to Come: A Full Day of Cybersecurity Insights

This is just a preview of the cutting-edge discussions, expert panels, and strategic deep-dives planned for Take Command 2025. Across the day, you’ll also hear from Rapid7’s own SOC experts, product leaders, and security researchers, who will provide real-world insights into:

  • What’s next for AI-driven security operations
  • How real-world attack simulations are changing security strategy
  • Inside the SOC: Expert stories from frontline threat hunters

Federal authorities have arrested and indicted a 20-year-old U.S. Army soldier on suspicion of being Kiberphant0m , a cybercriminal who has been selling and leaking sensitive customer call records stolen earlier this year from AT&T and Verizon . As first reported by KrebsOnSecurity last month, the accused is a communications specialist who was recently stationed in South Korea. One of several selfies on the Facebook page of Cameron Wagenius. Cameron John Wagenius , 20, was arrested near the Army base in Fort Hood, Texas on Dec. 20, after being indicted on two criminal counts of unlawful transfer of confidential phone records. The sparse, two-page indictment (PDF) doesn’t reference specific victims or hacking activity, nor does it include any personal details about the accused. But a conversation with Wagenius’ mother — Minnesota native Alicia Roen — filled in the gaps. Roen said that prior to her son’s arrest he’d acknowledged being associated with Connor Riley Moucka ...
