Alert volume grows 4x faster than headcount. You bought SOAR tools a decade ago, hired more analysts, and recently integrated AI, yet investigations still require extensive human validation. The bottleneck isn't AI capability - it's context architecture. This session explains why SOC investigations can't scale with traditional approaches and what organizational changes are required for true automation. Learn the three types of context that determine AI autonomy, why they break at scale, how to redesign analyst workflows from validation to value creation, and the strategic trade-offs between building in-house capabilities versus partnering with specialized MDR providers.

Over 80% of the Fortune 500 have active agents built using low-code/no‑code tools. With agent use and opportunities expanding, now is the time to get foundational controls in place. Successful adoption is grounded in an organization's ability to observe, govern, and secure their AI transformation. This session dives into the core pillars required to secure the next wave of AI adoption: continuous observability to understand how agents operate in real time, governance frameworks to control their creation and use, and security strategies grounded in Zero Trust principles. Learn how to apply these controls to agents and how to unify business, IT, and security teams to create a resilient foundation for AI.
