Time Is a New Attack Surface: Securing Networks with Trusted Time Synchronization

With the speed of development in AI-driven threats, SOC teams are more and more overwhelmed by increasingly sophisticated threats that demand a smarter approach. 
AI-driven insights are now essential for security teams to detect, investigate and respond to threats through integrated Cloud SIEM, while keeping systems secure and running smoothly.
As defenders face resource constraints, deploying specialized AI agents into security operations can help streamline data analysis, highlight relevant intelligence, distil insights from complex data and multiply analyst capabilities.
During this session, our panel of experts will also discuss how defenders can leverage AI tools to reduce the mean time to recovery (MTTR) and substantially reduce the financial cost of incident response.
By joining this webinar, you will learn:
• How defenders must adopt intelligent approach to intelligence operations in the age of AI 
• How to bring together IT, development and security operations with full-stack visibility through the unified Intelligent Operations platform
• How built-in monitoring, troubleshooting and security with Sumo Logic built on AWS provides end-to-end monitoring across AWS and brings 50% faster analysis and 75% reduction in MTTR

How To Enhance Security Operations with AI-Powered Defenses

Modern adversaries are relentless. They are not hacking in, they are simply logging in. Identity is your new perimeter. According to the Veza 2026 State of Identity & Access Report, 38% of accounts are dormant accounts with live entitlements. And, compared to the previous year, ‘safe, compliant’ permissions plummeted to just about 55%, driven by the increase in local accounts that are not linked to the identity provider (IdP). This is ‘identity debt’ at scale, and adversaries are capitalizing on it.

It’s time to shift from static, reactive defenses to continuous protection. Join our webinar to understand the key highlights of the report that will help guide your 2026 identity security strategy.

You will learn:
• Why you should quantify your identity debt
• The importance of shifting to an authorization-focused approach
• How to eliminate non-human and AI agent identity blindspots
• The 5 key identity security strategies for 2026

Five Non-Negotiable Strategies to Get Identity Security Right in 2026

Standard Microsoft 365 data protection is failing against modern adversaries who weaponize compromised identities. With ransomware attacks on Microsoft customers surging 275% year-over-year, true cyber resilience requires more than just backup, it demands a strategy that unifies data security with robust identity recovery.
In this session, we will dissect how threat actors, such as Scattered Spider, exploit gaps between identity and access management (IAM) and data storage to paralyze organizations. 
We will move beyond high-level theory to specific, practical strategies for proactive data security posture management (DSPM) and orchestrated Active Directory/Entra ID recovery.
Join this webinar to:
• Understand modern identity-based tactics: Move beyond general ransomware trends to understand specifically how modern adversaries are weaponizing valid credentials in Active Directory and Entra ID to bypass traditional M365 defenses
• Close the identity-data gap: Most organizations have separate strategies for IAM and data protection. This session addresses the critical vulnerability that exists between them, explaining why recovering data is impossible without first recovering the identity system cleanly
• Shift from reactive to proactive: Learn how DSPM is evolving from a compliance checkbox into a proactive tool for reducing the blast radius of an attack before it happens

Securing M365 Data and Identity Systems Against Modern Adversaries

While traditional Infosec focuses on infrastructure responsibility, SaaS introduces a shared security model. The platform provider (like Salesforce) secures the apartment building and shared utilities, but the customer controls who has the 'front door key' and what happens inside—meaning they own the data and access controls.
 
 This is critical for availability and integrity. Standard Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) metrics don't capture the customer's burden of granular data recovery (e.g., fixing a single field value across millions of records). 
 
 More importantly, in interconnected SaaS ecosystems, rolling back a flawed change is insufficient. As demonstrated by scenarios like manufacturing errors, the integrity of downstream processes is lost. Therefore, senior security leaders must embrace a remediate-to-fail-forward strategy instead of relying on traditional failure mitigation.
 
 Join this session to: 
 
 • Understand why traditional RTO and RPO are insufficient for SaaS data resilience and learn practical steps needed to bridge the gap between platform-level uptime and application-level data integrity
 
 • Learn why rolling back changes in SaaS often makes things worse and how adopting a “fail-forward” approach ensures faster recovery and preserves data integrity across interconnected systems
 
Gain clarity on where SaaS provider responsibility ends and your ownership begins, plus practical steps for managing access, user provisioning, and data backup to strengthen compliance and reduce risk
