The COVID – 19 pandemic no doubt led to record increase in the frequency and intensity of cyber-attacks and threats to many organizations in both government and the private sector, putting to task SecOps team, existing security operations systems and infrastructures.

As we enter the post-pandemic era, equipping and empowering security teams and fortifying security infrastructure remains a key part of the defense against these threats and without suitable technology, team, and threat intelligence integration, organizations won’t be equipped to monitor threats, prevent attacks, or scale and evolve as threats grow and diversify.

To continue to be ahead of the threats and challenges they face, government and private enterprise must begin to deploy and leverage next-generation SOC (security operations center) strategy and techniques that combines a strong human-machine synergy to create faster-than-human analysis by machines to identify leads for investigation and the contextual understanding of SOC analysts and threat hunters.

The Next-Gen SOC for a post-pandemic SecOps DigiConnect will bring together senior information security leaders from Governments Departments and Ministries, Banking and Financial Services sector, Aviation, Healthcare and Telecoms sectors in the Middle East region to discuss some of these challenges and learn latest best practices and innovative solutions on how they can effectively manage and monitor security events and incidents as well as improve their ability to foresee, prevent, detect and recover from operational disruptions.
