As organizations grow, so does complexity, and with it, new blind spots in cybersecurity. In this episode of Lenovo’s Work Reborn series, Manuel Martin, Security Operations Lead at EUMETSAT, joins us to discuss why simplifying systems, not adding more tools, is the key to resilience. From incident response to exposure management, Manuel shares how large enterprises can strengthen their defenses by returning to the fundamentals.
Here’s what you’ll discover:
🔹 Complexity and Risk — Why growth often leads to heavier “armor” that slows teams down and exposes new vulnerabilities.
🔹 The Power of Simplicity — How mapping assets, clarifying identities, and streamlining workflows can improve security posture.
🔹 Operational Readiness — Why knowing how to run your systems under pressure matters more than any new technology.
🔹 A Mindset for the Future — What “Work Reborn” means to Manuel: learning from past mistakes to build smarter, more adaptable workplaces.
By connecting Lenovo’s research insights with EUMETSAT’s operational perspective, this episode highlights how simplifying IT can empower teams to move faster and defend smarter.
