The Future of Security Operations: AI, Trust, and Time-to-Outcome Webinar

As AI adoption accelerates across the enterprise, security teams are under increasing pressure to move faster, filter more noise, and deliver trusted, decision-ready insight, often without additional resources. In response, these teams are shifting from reactive monitoring to proactive, situational awareness–led GSOCs — many of them virtual, distributed, and built around a new blend of human expertise and AI-driven insights.

Join this forward-looking panel discussion where security leaders will explore the key pressures reshaping security operations today, the trends that will define the 2026 security landscape, and how leading organizations are preparing their people, processes, and technology to reduce time-to-outcome when it matters most.

You’ll learn: 

• How AI adoption is changing security operations expectations and workflows
• The core pillars of high-performing, outcome-driven GSOCs
• The trends defining security operations in 2026
• Practical steps security leaders can take to prepare for the year ahead
