This panel examines how AI is transforming Security Operations Centers (SOCs) and enhancing threat detection through technologies like XDR, SIEM, and SOAR. As threat volumes and complexity increase, AI-driven solutions are enabling faster, more accurate detection and response. Experts will explore the integration of these tools within modern SOCs, the role of automation in reducing alert fatigue, and how AI is reshaping incident response workflows. The discussion will also address practical implementation challenges, data integration, and the evolving balance between human analysts and intelligent systems in defending against advanced threats.

This session explores the critical role of data protection and cyber recovery in building a resilient security posture. As cyberattacks grow in scale and impact, organisations must go beyond prevention to ensure rapid recovery and business continuity. Experts will discuss strategies for safeguarding critical data, implementing robust backup and recovery frameworks, and aligning cyber resilience with overall risk management. The conversation will cover emerging threats, ransomware response, and the technologies enabling faster restoration and minimal disruption in the face of incidents.

This panel delves into the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of legacy system modernisation and OT/IoT security. As organisations strive to digitise industrial operations and connect legacy infrastructure with modern technologies, securing operational technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) environments becomes increasingly complex. Experts will explore strategies for bridging security gaps, managing legacy risks, and implementing resilient architectures without disrupting critical operations. The discussion will highlight real-world approaches to integrating cybersecurity into modernisation efforts, ensuring visibility, control, and protection across both legacy and connected systems.

This masterclass explores the emerging risks and security implications of integrating large language models (LLMs) and generative AI into enterprise environments. As these powerful tools transform workflows and accelerate innovation, they also introduce new attack surfaces, data exposure concerns, and governance challenges. Security leaders and AI experts will examine real-world use cases, threat scenarios, and best practices for securing AI deployments within Security Operations (SecOps). The session will offer actionable insights into policy development, model monitoring, and risk mitigation strategies to help organisations safely harness the potential of generative AI.
