Speaker: Edouardos Petriadis

Attacks no longer move at human speed. As threat actors leverage AI to scale attacks and bypass static controls, how do you measure your team’s readiness and build the acumen to operate at speed? This session breaks down the operational reality of defending against machine-speed adversaries and what it takes to build true operational readiness. We will explore how threat-informed, team-based simulations on real infrastructure, such as HTB Threat Range, bridge the gap between static course completions and operational readiness. Attendees will learn actionable strategies to baseline squad performance, eliminate escalation bottlenecks, and build a battle-tested SOC workforce ready for machine-speed combat.
