The security operations center (SOC) is more interconnected — and more complex — than ever. As security teams manage an expanding ecosystem of security tools and data, the challenge isn't just in detecting threats, but in harnessing insights wherever they live.

In this session, Elastic Security will share a practical approach to applying AI in the SOC. It's one that empowers analysts to tap into the power of transparent, trustworthy AI — not just within a single platform, but across the entire security stack.

AI without borders: Extending analyst capabilities across the modern SOC

Join Elastic for this tech talk to gain a strategic overview of the most impactful AI, data, and cloud innovations coming out of Microsoft Ignite. We will highlight how to build smarter agents by leveraging the powerful integration between Elasticsearch and Azure AI Foundry; demonstrating techniques for synthesizing diverse data and orchestrating complex tasks. Discover how Agentic AI in Elastic's Search AI Platform is accelerating investigations and automating processes for both security and observability, alongside key considerations for deploying successful generative AI applications.

Get ready for Elastic at Ignite

The presentation highlights three main concerns for businesses: keeping company data secure, supporting flexible work arrangements, and making computers easier for IT teams to manage. The speaker references the major Windows outage from July 2024 as an example of why having the right technology matters during critical situations.
The discussion introduces Intel's newest computer processors (Core Ultra) and explains in simple terms how they're designed differently than previous generations. These new computers contain three separate "engines" that work together to handle different types of tasks more efficiently—especially the new AI features becoming common in everyday business applications.
Viewers will learn how these technology improvements translate to real-world benefits: computers that run cooler and quieter during video calls, longer battery life for remote workers, better performance when using Microsoft Copilot and similar tools, and overall more responsive systems for everyday tasks.

The webinar provides practical insights for business decision-makers who need to understand computer purchasing options without getting lost in technical jargon, helping them make informed choices that benefit both their IT departments and employees.

The relevance revolution: Integrating search technology for effective AI agents

Cybersecurity in Action — Leveraging AI to Enhance Security Operations

Can we trust generative AI’s (GenAI) potential when applied to security operations (SecOps)? In a word, yes, but with a heavy dose of caution. For instance, AI can quite effectively automate specific tasks—in SOAR, for one—but AI usage transparency and maintaining humans-in-the-loop to review missteps is key for long-term success. 
 
So, what exactly are the capabilities and limitations of GenAI within SecOps, and how can AI address analyst burnout while maintaining trust and delivering ROI?

Cyber threats are rising. Is your organization ready?

Public sector organizations are under growing pressure and are prime targets for cyber attacks and criminals. They face risks like ransomware, identity theft, and data breaches. On top of that, outdated systems and manual processes make security even more challenging.

At the same time, digital transformation is accelerating. Public sector organizations are expected to be data-driven, citizen-focused, compliant, and efficient — all while securing critical infrastructure, meeting complex (and ever-changing) regulatory demands, and navigating the risks posed by emerging technologies like generative AI and machine learning.

Security in government, education, and defense: Trends for 2025

The hybrid cloud model has become the technology strategy of choice for most organizations. And while It offers greater flexibility and control for your applications, it also creates management challenges for SRE and IT operations teams. This becomes readily apparent when dealing with an incident or tackling root cause analysis of an issue. At the same time, as organizations accelerate the pace of digital transformation, technology risks become business risks. As a result, regulations and compliance requirements are rapidly increasing.
 
Are you confident with your current monitoring systems? Are you getting too many - or too few - alerts? Is your organization really prepared to detect and respond to outages and incidents?
 
In this webinar, David Hope, Product Director at Elastic and Alberto Belle, Technology Advisor at Foundry, will explore how modern observability is the key to managing risk, achieving compliance, and building resilience in hybrid cloud environments.

Transform your systems with no-compromise Elastic observability

The observability landscape is evolving rapidly—and with it, the expectations of developers, SREs, and operations teams.
