Redefining Security Operations from Strategic perspective

Lessons from SOCs 6 years apart

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are burdened with sifting through immense volumes of data, analogous to identifying a single, crucial breadcrumb in a vast landscape, to intercept a possible attack. Looking at the future and the complexity introduced by the cloud transformation trend, teams are being forced to rethink their approach to security operations.

This presentation delves into insights gained from reviewing two SOCs, built six years apart. Through real-world examples, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the pitfalls of conventional security operations approach, as well as strategic requirements for an efficient, preventative security operations model.

Key Learnings:

  • SOC capability landscape and issues with most (legacy) approaches.
  • Ideas and requirements for an efficient SOC that extends XDR towards prevention

A Security Primer for Generative AI

The Generative AI Security Scoping Matrix

As generative AI ignites business innovation, cybersecurity teams must keep up with the accelerating domain. Security leaders are seeking tools and answers to help drive requirements around governance, compliance, legal, privacy, threat mitigations, resiliency, and more. As security leaders working with AWS’s largest, most complex customers, we’re regularly consulted on trends, best practices, and the rapidly evolving landscape of generative AI and the associated security and privacy implications.

This session will introduce you to the Generative AI Security Scoping Matrix, designed to provide a common language and best practices for securing generative AI solutions. You’ll leave the session with a framework and techniques that can be leveraged to support responsible adoption of generative AI solutions while enabling the business to move at an ever-increasing pace.

The Role of AI in Cybersecurity Operations

Look into the future

In the years to come, artificial intelligence will be playing a key role in cybersecurity-related operations and procedures. While a holistic approach to cybersecurity is necessary, it is simply too extensive to be handled by humans alone. For that reason, AI is becoming crucial in detecting and fighting against advanced threats, and the widespread use of machine learning capabilities seems to be the inevitable future.

A powerful tool for cyber defenders, in the hands of hackers AI can become a dangerous weapon, significantly increasing their scope and efficiency. From the rapid creation of advanced malware to the unsettling world of facial and vocal impersonation, we'll explore the evolving threats posed by AI in today's digital landscape. You will learn about phishing attacks, biometric manipulation, and the automation of vulnerability discovery, all reshaping the cybersecurity arena. New opportunities for criminals to exploit AI are being discovered every day, so understanding its two-sided application in the context of cybersecurity is a key issue today.

During this session, cybersecurity expert Paula Januszkiewicz will discuss both the potential and the risks of using AI in cybersecurity. Real stories of recent attacks and live demonstrations of hacking techniques will be presented. Join Paula to get the full picture and prepare for the upcoming challenges.

Escape any disaster in minutes

HPE

In today's digital age, data is not just an asset; it's the very backbone of our organizations. Yet, every day, entities across the globe face the menacing threat of ransomware—a malicious assault not just on our systems, but on our very way of life. Data protection and ransomware resilience are not mere IT concerns; they are imperatives for our collective security and prosperity.

I will be discussing how we can commit to fortifying our defenses, safeguarding our data, and ensuring the resilience of our operations against ransomware.

The future of cybersecurity incident response with AI

Empowering SOC Teams

In the rapidly evolving world of cybersecurity, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important. With the sheer volume and complexity of threats, a holistic approach to cybersecurity is necessary, and AI is proving to be a crucial element in detecting and fighting against advanced attacks. As we look to the future, it's clear that the widespread use of machine learning capabilities will be inevitable. In the years to come, we can expect AI to play a key role in cybersecurity-related operations and procedures.

Microsoft Defender, XDR, Microsoft Sentinel, and Microsoft Security Copilot will be available in the future  as a unified experience, all your alerts, incidents, playbooks, and policies in one place with more AI, more automation, and an unparalleled view of emerging threats enriching it all. One dashboard to manage defenses. A single portal for  threat investigation, detection, and response. A single command center built on a common data model to help you manage your SOC and work faster. One place to investigate all incidents. Making incident triage more straightforward, investigation more seamless and insights more holistic. One place to search and hunt for threats across all data. Simplified with help from Security Copilot, translating natural language to KQL. Copilot is generating all the queries, and these are, and you need to know KQL now.

During this session, cybersecurity expert Uros Babic will be speaking about the future of cybersecurity incident response with AI. Join Uros to get the full picture and prepare for the upcoming challenges.
