Speed is paramount in security. However, when focusing too much on speed, security teams can easily become reactive, prioritizing what matters now versus what might be critical tomorrow.

In this 30-minute session, Josh Costa, director of Product Marketing for Cortex®, and Gal Zilberstein, leader of the Cortex XSIAM® Product Management team, reveal a new approach to security operations that allows analysts to shift focus from reactive to proactive security measures and ultimately take back control of their time.

Through the lens of real-world scenarios and with a demonstration of the XSIAM Command Center and Cortex Copilot, we’ll explore how data consolidation, AI-driven analytics and scalable automation can streamline incident response, enhance threat hunting and optimize security workflows.

From Reactive to Proactive: SecOps of the Future

Modern applications, workloads and microservices are generating vast amounts of data faster than most security operations centers (SOCs) can adapt. And security teams operating on a legacy SOC model can spend hours — even days — triaging a single threat event. How can SOC teams outpace modern threats? By fighting technology with technology and leaning into AI to augment analysts, SOC teams can amp up their defenses and focus on more critical issues. Join us to hear how real teams improved their security outcomes with a machine-led, human-empowered SecOps platform.

At the event, you will hear detailed Cortex® XSIAM™ case studies. Gain insights on:
Unleashing machine learning and automation in your SOC.
Streamlining your existing security stack, including SIEM and endpoint.
Outperforming benchmarks for detection and response times.

XSIAM Fight Tech with Tech

In this session, we dive into the real-world experiences of security leaders from Concentrix and The Home Depot. We’ll explore their challenges, triumphs and the transformative power of AI and automation in revolutionizing security operations.

Justifying Your Hybrid Cloud Network Security Investment

Data is one of the most frequent targets for cyberattacks and also one of the hardest assets to protect. With growing data volumes, increased regulatory requirements and the shift toward AI, organizations face significant challenges in understanding, which sensitive data they hold, who has access to it and where it’s exposed.

To regain visibility and control, organizations are exploring data security posture management (DSPM) and data detection and response (DDR) solutions. These technologies help identify, classify and secure sensitive data, providing the necessary tools to manage data risks effectively in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

Join Prisma® Cloud’s upcoming webinar to hear from our senior product marketing manager, Sharon Farber, to gain a better understanding of how to:
• Get started with data discovery and classification in cloud complex datastores.
• Discover agentless tools that allow you to see a full picture of data risk in your environment within 24 hours, without impacting other business operations.
• Monitor data and respond to incidents in near-real time.

Securing the Data and AI Landscape with DSPM and DDR

The rapid shift to the cloud has strained SOC teams, leading to challenges in monitoring the external attack surface. Inadequate visibility into an organization's IT infrastructure poses significant risks, jeopardizing both the organization and its customers.

Join security experts from KuppingerCole Analysts and Palo Alto Networks for an insightful and engaging webinar as they delve into attack surface management (ASM). They'll discuss the challenges faced by organizations and how they can stay ahead of adversaries who don't discriminate.

In the webinar, our experts will discuss:

- What ASM solutions can do.
- How ASM tools improve the visibility into exposures and potential attack vectors.
- Real-world use cases and success stories.
- Best practices for securing your attack surface.
- Why Cortex Xpanse® was rated an Overall, Product, Innovation and Market Leader with our Active Attack Surface Management platform.
