Today, Security Operations Centre (SOC) teams spend too much of their time compensating for gaps in traditional tools, gaps that attackers are actively exploiting. With generative AI accelerating attack innovation and a cybercrime economy estimated at $9.5 trillion in 2024, the pace and sophistication of threats continues to outstrip conventional approaches.

To stay ahead, defenders need new operating models and capabilities. But the future of SecOps is not about automating everything. It is about empowering analysts. The most effective SOCs will be those that use AI‑powered security tools to amplify human expertise, enabling faster, more confident decision‑making at scale.

Join Scott Woodgate, GM of Threat Protection at Microsoft, to explore how the SOC is evolving and how Microsoft’s unified security platform supports proactive, scalable, and deeply integrated defence, helping security teams stay ahead of threats with agility and confidence.
