Smarter Defense: Harnessing AI to Supercharge the SOC

The volume and velocity of alerts overwhelm human analysts, while adversaries themselves weaponize AI to automate attacks. SOC teams need machine learning and intelligent orchestration to keep pace and focus on what matters.

This eSummit explores how AI transforms detection, investigation, and response. Through keynotes and fireside chats, experts will demonstrate how to operationalize AI within SIEM, SOAR, and EDR ecosystems — reducing fatigue, improving accuracy, and elevating the SOC’s strategic value.

Agenda

The Official Cybersecurity Summit delivers high-impact sessions designed to help leaders strengthen resilience, protect critical infrastructure, and align security with business goals.

Attendees will gain actionable insights from expert panels, explore cutting-edge solutions, and connect directly with top industry innovators - making this a can’t-miss agenda for CISOs and security executives.

11:35-12:20
Panel 1: From Alert Flood to Signal: Using AI to Triage, Correlate, and Prioritize What Matters

SOC teams don’t have an alert problem—they have a decision problem. This panel explores how AI and machine learning can reduce noise and elevate signal by clustering related activity, enriching context, prioritizing business impact, and routing the right work to the right humans. Panelists will share practical lessons on tuning models without breaking trust, reducing false positives without missing stealthy behavior, and proving that “AI triage” improves outcomes—not just dashboard aesthetics.


12:20-12:40
Lunch Break
12:40-1:25
Panel 2: AI-In-The-Loop Investigation: Faster Root Cause Without Sacrificing Rigor

Investigation is where time disappears—pivoting across logs, assembling timelines, validating hypotheses, and documenting actions. This panel focuses on AI-assisted investigation that speeds up root-cause analysis while keeping analysts in control: narrative timeline generation, natural-language querying across telemetry, guided hunts, and automated enrichment that preserves evidence quality. We’ll also tackle the pitfalls—hallucinations, overconfident summaries, missing context—and how to build checks and workflows that keep investigations defensible.


1:35-2:20
Panel 3: Autonomous Response and SOAR 2.0: Safe Automation, Strong Governance, Real Containment

Automation can shrink containment time from hours to minutes—but the blast radius of a bad playbook is real. This panel looks at how AI is changing SOAR and response orchestration: smarter playbook selection, adaptive containment, and dynamic ticketing and communications. Panelists will cover how to design “safe automation” with policy guardrails, approvals, rollback plans, and continuous testing—plus how to integrate response automation across endpoint, identity, cloud, and network controls without creating new fragility.
