Use It Monday: A 5-Step Method for Turning Security Findings Into Stories Executives Act On (<– add to your schedule)

Security teams produce thorough, accurate reports that executives nod at and never act on. This talk teaches a practical 5-step method for translating findings into narratives that produce decisions — one you’ll practice live and use Monday morning.

Victoria Mosby:
Victoria Mosby is a cybersecurity strategist, advisor, and storyteller with 16 years of experience spanning federal consulting, governance and risk, and cybersecurity SaaS. She is the founder of Basilisk Security Consulting, a boutique advisory practice focused on security communication and executive alignment, and the creator of the Cyber Lorekeeper, a platform dedicated to making security concepts not just understandable but memorable.

Her work sits at the intersection of technical depth and business translation. As a Senior Sales Engineer at PlexTrac, Victoria partners with security teams to design workflows, align tooling to operational needs, and help practitioners communicate findings in ways that actually move decision-makers. She has briefed executives across healthcare, financial services, government, and critical infrastructure, and has spent years studying why some security reports generate action while most generate acknowledgment and nothing else.

That question became the Saga Framework, a comprehensive storytelling methodology for cybersecurity communication grounded in cognitive science research and built around seven narrative archetypes. The framework gives practitioners a repeatable system for translating technical findings into executive narratives that are visceral, specific, and designed to produce decisions. It includes a calibration system for matching narrative intensity to audience type, a practitioner toolkit, and a full written methodology. “Use It Monday” distills the framework’s most actionable core into a 5-step method practitioners can learn in a conference talk and apply the same week.

Victoria holds a Master’s in Cyber Forensics and has spent her career building bridges between the security team, the boardroom, and the broader community. Outside of work, she writes dark fantasy fiction, runs D&D campaigns, and crochets, usually while thinking about how narrative structure works in both storytelling and security briefings.
