Women Leading Security Through Crisis

Teramind’s “When It Hits the Fan” series features women security leaders unpack the incidents that changed their career, and how they led teams through chaos, uncertainty, and high-stakes decisions.

Abstract

When security incidents escalate, leaders don’t get perfect information or extra time. They make decisions in minutes — with incomplete data, stressed teams, and the business watching. This session is the first episode of Teramind’s new webinar series, When IT Hits the Fan, exploring real-world crisis moments and the leadership decisions behind them.

In this candid panel, senior women in security leadership roles share the real stories behind their toughest insider threat and crisis incidents — what they missed, what failed, how they responded, and what they would do differently today. This isn’t theory or best practices from a slide deck. It’s experience earned the hard way.

You’ll learn how to:

Early Signals

Recognize early behavioral and insider risk signals others overlook

Decisive Action

Respond decisively in the first critical minutes of a crisis

Confident Leadership

Lead teams confidently without having all the answers

Controlled Chaos

Navigate pressure, authority challenges, and cross-functional chaos

Practical Evolution

Improve processes and tools based on real-world lessons

Inclusive Leadership

Apply leadership approaches shaped by diverse perspectives in security
