Title: The 360-Degree Challenge: Building a Global View of Cyber Risk in a Fragmented Supply Chain

Speaker: Beth Linker, Chief Product Officer, Finite State

Date: Thursday, November 20, 2025

Time: 10:15 AM CET

What to Expect

When a software landscape includes dozens of suppliers, global dev teams, and a mix of open source and proprietary components, seeing the whole picture becomes the real cybersecurity challenge.

In this candid, conversational session, Beth will break down:

• What a “complete” security posture looks like for today’s connected vehicles
• How to integrate threat modeling, provenance analysis, and vulnerability data into a unified view
• Why emerging global regulations—such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), Connected Vehicle Rule, and GB 44495—demand traceability across the entire software stack
• How leading manufacturers are aligning security, compliance, procurement, and engineering in a shared ecosystem of accountability

Through real-world examples, Beth will demonstrate how teams can evolve from point-in-time scans to continuous risk insight—and finally answer the question: “Are we secure, everywhere?”
