From Compliance to Confidence: Paul Innella to Introduce Cybersecurity Performance Management™ at the National Cyber Summit.

In today’s federal cybersecurity environment, leaders can no longer rely on check-box compliance or activity counts to prove the value of their programs. Accelerating threats, advancing federal guidance—like NIST CSF 2.0, EO 14028, and Zero Trust—and scrutiny over ROI call for a paradigm shift. What’s needed? Real-time performance, strategic alignment, and executive clarity. 

Introducing Cybersecurity Performance Management (CPM) 

At the 16th Annual National Cyber Summit (Sept 23–25, 2025 | Huntsville, AL), Paul Innella, CEO of TDI, will present CPM, a groundbreaking approach that replaces legacy activity metrics with Cybersecurity Performance Indicators (CPIs). CPM delivers: 

• Continuous Risk Visibility: Real-time dashboards that surface vulnerabilities, threats, and resilience metrics. 

• cATO Enablement: Data-driven validation of cybersecurity posture, supporting continuous authorization models. 

• Governance & Executive Reporting: Clear, board-ready insights that translate security performance into business outcomes. 

• Mission-Aligned Security: Metrics that tie cybersecurity directly to mission priorities and ROI. 

This is deeper than more reports, it’s about smarter governance, deeper resilience, and confident leadership. 

The National Cyber Summit is the nation’s most innovative cyber security-technology event, offering unique educational, collaborative and workforce development opportunities for industry visionaries and rising leaders. NCS offers more value than similar cyber conferences with diverse focus-areas, premier speakers, and unmatched accessibility. 

Held in Huntsville, Alabama, one of the nation’s largest technological hubs, the Summit attracts both government and commercial participants. Long known as the home to Department of Defense organizations and civilian departments and agencies including DHS, NIST, NASA, TVA, NSA and DOE, Huntsville also has many other industries represented. Companies are diverse and include healthcare, automotive and energy industries, academia, genetic research and high technology. (https://www.nationalcybersummit.com/).  

As Paul shares at NCS 2025, CPM is the next step in cybersecurity governance. It transforms compliance-heavy programs into performance-driven strategies that strengthen resilience and prove ROI. If you’re attending the summit, don’t miss the opportunity to connect, learn, and help shape the future of cybersecurity oversight.
