Building an Enterprise Data Strategy for the Modern SOC

Security, at its core, is a data problem. As data volumes grow exponentially (to the tune of 28% CAGR), organisations struggle to collect, enrich and correlate their security data.

As a result, today’s data onboarding processes involve countless log formats and ingestion methods, resulting in deployment delays, cost overruns and employee burnout. Gaining complete visibility of your data across your environments, no matter where it lies, is critical for security teams to stay ahead of modern threats.

In this session, Ed Bailey, Principal Technical Evangelist at Cribl, and Arfan Sharif, Director – Technical Marketing of NG-SIEM & XDR at CrowdStrike, will share and explore:

• Mid-year review of 2024 IT and Security key trends and predictions
• The evolution of the SOC to address today’s threat challenges
• Building an enterprise security data strategy – tips and best practice
