AI-driven automation is poised to revolutionize network and security operations—but only if it’s built on accurate, authoritative data. Today, fragmented discovery tools and incomplete CMDBs create systemic risk, slowing innovation and amplifying operational blind spots. EMA’s latest research shows that while 73% of enterprises see AI as a game-changer, poor data quality remains the top barrier. This webinar brings together thought leaders from Infoblox, EMA, and ServiceNow to explore how real-time network truth can unify NetOps and SecOps, eliminate blind spots, and unlock a future where AI becomes an enabler of resilience, agility, and innovation across NOC and SOC environments.

From Blind Spots to Breakthrough: How Accurate Data Visibility Enables AI to Transform NetOps and SecOps

Cybersecurity has entered a new era—one where machine-speed attacks, single-use malicious infrastructure, and AI-driven adversaries are rendering traditional detect-and-respond models dangerously insufficient. CISOs are shifting toward preemptive security—finding exposures before attackers do, blocking threats before connection, and making prevention an operational discipline. 

Join Jeffrey Vinson (former CISO, Harris Health), Andy Ellis (former CISO, Akamai), and Danelle Au (VP, Product & Solutions Marketing, Infoblox) as they break down what preemptive security really means and how to implement it inside modern enterprises. 

Walk away with practical guidance and best practices on: 
- Rebalancing your security strategy for preemptive security versus detection and response 
- How to structure teams for a preemptive security operating model 
- Demonstrating value and building measurable, board-ready KPIs

When attackers see a way in, they take it.

If you want to stay ahead of attackers, it's time to make the shift from a focus on threat intelligence to risk intelligence.

Today’s security leaders are squeezed between increased risks and attacks, expanding attack surfaces, and decreasing resources, which has them streamlining defense strategies and investments towards what matters most and what exposures are critical. 

Join us for a lively discussion on the current security leadership shift of focus from threat intelligence to risk intelligence. Security leaders will share their journey to the sweet spot: that balance between visibility, priority and value that helps focus their security practices towards confident protection (vs whack-a-mole). Areas covered will include: 
-> Balancing protections inside and outside the network
-> Various ways of prioritizing risk and what doesn’t work
-> Mapping potential paths into and out of your network
-> Merging attack surface management, vulnerability and threat information to identify real risk

Redefining Cyber Intelligence: The Shift from Threat to Risk

Organizations are drowning in intelligence data. The problem isn’t that there’s not enough breach detection data, it’s that there is too much. “Sleeper threats” lie hidden in plain sight, protected by a cacophony of noise and a security team too overwhelmed to find them. And with AI-fueled attacks, combat has moved to warp speed. We need machines to fight the machines, but we need still need expert humans at the helm. 

Implementing AI and automation enables organizations to perform advanced threat hunting, detection, and response at machine speed and scale. Earlier AI followed a set of rules and never deviated, but the problem was that it never went beyond that either. It wasn’t customizable or adaptable. To be impactful, threat hunting AI needs to run on a deep neural net architecture and rely on a progressive learning model that mimics human learning and assimilates the techniques, processes, and expertise of analysts. 

Kumar Saurabh, VP of SOAR Strategy and Integration at Devo, demonstrates new technology that acts as force multiplier for skilled human expertise. Learn how to improve threat detection and response efficacy at a lower cost and free up your security team’s valuable time and resources to focus on high-value security tasks. 

Key takeaways from this session will be:
• How to use advanced decision automation to analyze millions of data points per day.
• How to automate threat discovery, cataloging, triage, and response – at machine speeds.
• How to leverage AI as a force multiplier for skilled human expertise.
• How to reduce noise and repetitive work for Level 1 & 2 analysts and free up time and resources to focus on real threats and critical decisions.
• How to leverage AI to build sophisticated playbooks in hours, rather than weeks.

Protecting Enterprise Data from Threats in 2022

Preventing data breaches has become a key area of focus for most security programs, driven by the news of ever increasing ransomware attacks, intellectual property loss and insider threats. Having a strong Incident Response program is crucial when a data breach occurs, but more and more, we need to get ahead of these attacks and lay strong foundations that can help prevent data breaches before they occur. And beyond that, with that foundation in place, what if we can also look ahead and actually predict which areas of our network environment are most likely to be attacked? It's at this stage where defenders can start to get ahead of the curve, make sound decisions around how to prevent or mitigate risks, reduce the likelihood that these vulnerabilities are exploited and help keep their organization out of the news.

In this talk, we'll discuss:
• Fundamental strategies and best practices for shoring up the areas of your environment most often targeted by cyberattackers
• How a culture of preparedness can be your strongest line of defense against data breaches
• Leveraging threat intelligence sources to predict where attackers may target you next
• Ways to prioritize your risk mitigation efforts to quickly and efficiently address weaknesses in the environment

Plan, Prepare, Predict: Implementing Breach Prevention Strategies from the Start

In recent years, despite the advances in advanced endpoint protection, high-profile breaches have continued and become more frequent and destructive. Attackers have learned how to work around the existing security stack to achieve their objectives. 

This talk will focus on how organizations can use attacker behavior analytics to better detect attacks and align their security stack towards critical business assets. Learn how to maximize your threat detection and response efforts more effectively.

• Shift to a risk-aligned security strategy and avoid the traditional “reactive” and tool-based approach
• Learn how behavioral analytics better reflects attacker behavior
• Integration of network, endpoint, cloud, and application data to better reflect entire attack surface
• Scale XDR and MDR processes and automate tasks for speed and efficiencies

Advanced XDR: Map Detection Methods to Align to Your Most Critical Risks

Whenever your organization creates and delivers mobile applications to either employees or customers, they are essentially also delivering a blueprint for bad actors to access your organization’s sensitive data.

As an application owner or product manager, you most likely are aware of the concept of DevSecOps and may have already implemented some best practices to build security into the applications you ship. At the same time, you might be wondering if you are devoting too much—or not enough—time to build security in your CI/CD life cycle, and you may not know which practices are actually the “best” practices.

This webinar describes the existing threat and security landscape and explores how you can take advantage of the latest DevSecOps trends to build security into your mobile applications directly, quickly and easily.

A CISO Roundtable: Surviving the Inevitable Cyber Attack

August 2021: Accenture confirmed that Lockbit ransomware operators stole 6 TBs of data from its systems.
October 2021: Acer announced that their servers were hacked by Desorden group resulting in exfiltration of almost 60 GBs of data.
August 2021: T-mobile said that it fell prey to a sophisticated cyberattack affecting its 40 million customers.

These are examples of some data breaches that happened in 2021. Since last few years, number of data breaches & their impact has been growing, and the trend continued in 2021 as well. The average cost of data breaches in 2021, a whopping $4.24 Million, broke the previous ceiling!

With every passing year, attackers are becoming bolder in their techniques and are targeting organizations with increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks. Which makes it imperative for organizations to regularly review their cyber security posture and update it to foil the next wave of attacks.

In this presentation, we will share current state of cyber-attacks and discuss the new generation protection mechanisms that can assist organizations in thwarting these attacks.

Some of the key takeaways from this session will be:
1. Why Breach prevention is needed.
2. Attack techniques used in latest data breaches.
3. Different tools/techniques to safeguard against the new age cyber-attacks.
