View all sessions

Security incidents don’t unfold in clean, linear steps - and neither do the decisions that stop them. In this session, we walk through a real-world incident to show how SOC teams actually operate under pressure.

From the first signal to the final outcome, attendees will see what gets ignored, what gets investigated, and why. The session explores how analysts correlate signals across endpoint, identity, and cloud, how trust and handoffs work between teams, and where exposure context influences escalation. This is an unfiltered look at the pace, pressure, and judgment required to defend modern environments - focused on outcomes, not alerts.
