The Critical Role of the SOC in Modern Cyber Defense
6:30 PM to 9:30 PM IST | Jio Convention Center, Mumbai
Event Overview
In the evolving threat landscape, the rise of advanced persistent threats (APTs), ransomware, and insider attacks have amplified the need for a robust SOC solution. The global average cost of a data breach spiked in 2024, increasing by 10% in a year to USD 4.88 million, the biggest jump since the pandemic.
How can you confidently mitigate the impact of breaches? What role does a well-equipped SOC play in identifying threats in real time? The daunting task for security leaders is to transform SOC to establish a proactive threat-hunting and incident response. Are you able to apply continuous monitoring and threat detection capabilities to the modern SOC to identify threats in real time? Can you automate the incidence response mechanism in a SOC environment to reduce human error?
You are invited to join us at this exclusive CXO roundtable jointly hosted by Palo Alto Networks and IBM.
During this interactive session, learn from experts and network with industry peers to discover:
- Why a strong SOC solution is critical to your cybersecurity strategy;
- How do you strengthen your security posture using the common interface of EDR, SIEM, and SOAR for effective detection;
- How to contextualize threat intelligence to equip SOC teams for faster detection and response;
- How to consolidate all the data and tools into a single AI-driven platform to enhance SOC efficiency and prevent threats at scale;
- An integrated approach to building next-generation SOC to establish proactive risk-reduction, improved visibility, and faster response time.
