A half day briefing for C-level security and technology leaders, hosted in London by Palo Alto Networks and Nomios. A closed room, a focused agenda, and a direct conversation about what it takes to run a modern SOC in the age of AI.

Why this matters

The threat landscape isn't slowing down, and neither is the pressure on your SOC to keep up. Attackers are already using AI to move faster and hide better. Most security operations functions are still built for a slower, more manual world, and that gap is where risk sits.

At the same time, boards are asking harder questions about security spend. CISOs are increasingly expected to show what their security operations investment actually delivers in risk reduction, cost and resilience. That's a difficult case to make if your SOC hasn't changed how it operates in years.

This is the conversation we think matters most right now: not whether to invest in AI-driven security operations, but how to do it in a way that holds up under board scrutiny and delivers a measurable return.

Why Palo Alto Networks and Nomios are hosting this together

Palo Alto Networks builds the platform. Nomios delivers the operational outcome. Neither of those things alone gets you a transformed SOC, and we've seen too many organisations buy the technology and stall at the operational change. This session exists because we believe the two need to be talked about together, not as separate purchasing decisions.

We're bringing our own customers, our own delivery leads and our own product experts into one room to have a direct conversation about what's actually working, backed by real deployment experience rather than a roadmap slide.

What to expect

A structured half day covering the intelligence you need on the threat landscape, the operational and financial case for change, and a real customer account of what SOC transformation looks like in practice.

The shifting threat landscape

Using data directly from Palo Alto Network's Unit 42, we look at how attacker behaviour is evolving and how that's driving innovation across the industry.

Operational excellence as a service

The outcome that matters isn't the technology, it's what you build with it. A look at what leading security operations actually requires.

The business case for transformation

A structured look at the financial, operational and risk case for SOC transformation, built on real deployment data and business value consulting.

Customer perspective

Hear directly from a peer on their SOC transformation journey. What changed, what it took to get it up and running, and what they'd advise you to do differently.

Drinks and dinner

The conversation continues over drinks, followed by dinner at Lucky Cat for those staying on.

The agenda

You'll be hosted on the 55th floor of 22 Bishopsgate, inside Palo Alto Networks' UK headquarters, one of the most striking vantage points in the City of London. Expect a room built for the conversation, sweeping views over the capital, and a setting that matches the calibre of the people in it.
