The AI-Powered SOC: What’s Working for Leading Security Teams

With the 2027 SAP ECC support deadline rapidly approaching, organizations face a critical choice that will determine whether their migration succeeds or fails. In this 30-minute fireside chat, experts on SAP, Azure, and Splunk observability unpack why S/4HANA migration is no longer just an SAP project—it’s a cloud and observability decision as well. Whether you’re extending existing on-premises monitoring or running SAP on Azure today, the architectural choices you make now will decide whether your migration is controlled and predictable or a high-stakes fire drill.

Together, we’ll walk through real-world scenarios where custom code crushes HANA performance, integration cascades ripple across distributed systems, and traditional monitoring tools fall short when you need them most. You’ll see how Azure’s SAP-certified cloud foundation and Splunk’s unified observability platform can help you close the gaps that basic Azure tools and siloed SAP monitoring alone can’t bridge—correlating application, data, and infrastructure signals end-to-end across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Most importantly, this session shows how Splunk + SAP + Azure can help ensure S/4HANA migration success: SAP brings the modern business capabilities, Azure provides the trusted enterprise-grade cloud for SAP customers who already rely on it, and Splunk delivers unified observability that spans every boundary. You’ll leave with concrete patterns, timing guidance, and proof points that can reduce MTTR, avoid millions in unplanned downtime, and give your organization the confidence to move now rather than react under pressure later.

The reality of SAP migration: Why observability changes everything

AI is the current hot topic, but what is AIOps? In this session, we'll cut through the hype to define AIOps, how it can help you and how to get started. With real-world examples of how businesses succeed using Splunk's AIOps capabilities, we'll discuss applying AI and ML to accelerate incident response, reduce MTTD and MTTR, cut costs and empower teams with the tools they need to make decisions quickly.

AIOps - How Observability Can Help You

To minimize the risk posed by threat actors, security teams need the ability to quickly detect and analyze potential threats, so they can understand the full scope of an incident and determine the best response as quickly as possible.

However, many teams struggle with this. Analysts need to manually synthesize data, files, and URLs to formulate insights, and then take the time to draw conclusions and take corrective actions. This is inefficient, and leads to slower response times.

Join this webinar to see how Splunk Attack Analyzer helps reduce investigation and response times through automated threat analysis.

You’ll get a step-by-step demonstration showing how Splunk Attack Analyzer:

- Saves analysts time and effort by automatically breaking down attack chains.
- Navigates obfuscation techniques throughout the attack chain to extract forensics and deliver comprehensive, consistent analyses.
- Integrates with Splunk SOAR to automate end-to-end analysis and response workflows.

What if there was an open-source, vendor-neutral framework for collecting telemetry data? One single agent that provides a consistent and standardised way of instrumenting applications and infrastructures? Good news – there is! What we’ve just described is OpenTelemetry – a joint project between Splunk, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and several other organisations that currently has the second-largest number of contributors in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation after Kubernetes. But do you know how to use it? Or if you should use it? The best thing to do is to learn about OpenTelemetry from the major contributor of the code. This session is an introduction to OpenTelemetry and will explain why it doesn't make sense to have an Observability strategy without OpenTelemetry.

Observability with OpenTelemetry: It Just Makes Sense
