A modern Security Operations Center (SOC) faces the challenge of tackling growing cyber threats with limited resources. CIOs must keep three central factors in mind: choosing the right technologies, achieving a high degree of automation, and deploying qualified personnel effectively.

This talk highlights the minimum requirements for efficient SOC operations to ensure threats are detected, analyzed, and addressed quickly and reliably. We will show how to structure technology diversity in a meaningful way, how automation can ease day-to-day SOC work, and why the human role – despite AI and orchestration – remains indispensable.

Attendees will gain concrete guidance on how to balance technology, processes, and people to sustainably increase SOC efficiency.
