A Platform Approach to Security Operations Modernization – Sponsored by Palo Alto Networks

Spring 2024
This session aims to propose an approach that will help evolve Security Operations from a reactive and human-first approach – that cannot scale to keep up with ever-increasing threats – towards the vision of an AI-Driven, Automation-first SOC.
In addition to processing information at machine speed, the modern SOC embeds automation and advanced analytics wherever possible to reduce SOC costs, increase efficiency and efficacy, as well as make processes self-sustainable
We will explore the key tenets and expected outcomes of a modern SOC:
  1. Simplify Security Operation through platform convergence
  2. Stop threats at scale and machine speed, with AI-Driven outcomes
  3. Accelerate remediation with the adoption of an ‘automation-first’ approach
