Breakout
The Security Operations Center of the Future
As threats grow more complex and resources remain constrained, the security operations center (SOC) must evolve. This panel explores how artificial intelligence-driven technologies, integrated data and human expertise are reshaping government security operations—from reactive monitoring to proactive risk management. The discussion covers how modern SOCs can leverage AI to reduce operator fatigue, accelerate incident response and surface actionable intelligence from access control, video, identity and operational data.
