Strengthen Your Security Operations in the Era of Agentic AI

The Threat Landscape is Evolving Faster Than Ever - is Your SecOps Team Ready? 

In today’s hyper-connected world, SecOps teams face unprecedented pressures: sophisticated attacks, expanding cloud and remote work surfaces, and the disruptive rise of agentic AI. Traditional security approaches can’t keep pace - visibility gaps, manual processes, and alert fatigue slow teams down while threats multiply. But new technology brings new opportunities too. EMEA Digital Resilience Week - powered by Splunk and Cisco - offers practical, actionable strategies to unify visibility, harness AI-driven automation, and build a resilient security posture that evolves with the threat landscape. During the week we will be covering real-world solutions from industry leaders to help you detect faster, respond smarter, and secure AI workloads with confidence. 

Mastering Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response: The Network Advantage 

One of the most overlooked assets in modern security operations is the network. While many SecOps teams focus on endpoint data, logs, and threat intelligence feeds, they often miss the wealth of critical insights flowing through network infrastructure. The network sees everything - connections, data transfers, anomalies - making it a vital part of Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response (TDIR). Our security session “Why the Network is a Vital Component in TDIR with Splunk and Cisco” on Day 2, will show how combining Splunk’s powerful analytics with Cisco’s deep network visibility becomes a force multiplier for security teams. You’ll learn how this integration delivers unprecedented insight into threats that might otherwise remain hidden, and why visibility must be paired with actionable intelligence.

Our experts will share how merging data, analytics, automation, and AI/ML enables organizations to steadily mature their security posture - building a solid foundation and improving over time based on each organization’s risk profile and constraints. You’ll also gain practical understanding of attack chain analysis, where rapid reconstruction of adversary actions can mean the difference between a minor incident and a major breach. Real-world demos will reveal how Splunk and Cisco’s solutions help uncover answers fast, trace attack paths efficiently, and respond before threats escalate. 

Delivering True TDIR Capability: From Theory to Practice 

Understanding TDIR is one thing - delivering it effectively in the real world is another. Many organizations invest heavily in security tools yet still face slow detection, inefficient investigations, and fragmented responses. The issue often isn’t technology, but the lack of integration, prioritization, and strategic focus. Don’t miss our second Day 2 security session, “How to Deliver a True TDIR Capability,” which takes a practical, implementation-focused approach. It’s built on a key truth: not all threats are equal and treating every alert the same leads to burnout and inefficiency. You’ll learn how to identify the right TDIR capabilities for your environment, prioritize high-risk threats using Splunk’s Risk-Based Alerting, and align detection and response with true business impact. 

We’ll cover how effective data management is critical to future SecOps - from collecting the right data at the right time, to normalizing and enriching it for context, boosting detection coverage, and reducing costs. Finally, we’ll show how analytics, automation, UEBA, and AI can be brought into a single analyst workbench - eliminating tool-switching, streamlining investigations, and cutting Mean-Time-To-Respond (MTTR), Mean-Time-To-Investigate (MTTI), and Mean-Time-To-Contain (MTTC). Splunk’s latest innovations make this unified platform a reality, giving analysts everything they need to respond faster and smarter.

 Securing the AI-Powered Future 

As we look beyond Day 2 security-focused sessions, it's impossible to ignore the elephant in the room: Artificial Intelligence. AI isn't just changing how we defend our organizations - it's fundamentally transforming what we need to defend. As organizations rapidly adopt AI technologies to drive innovation and efficiency, they're creating entirely new attack surfaces that traditional security tools weren't designed to protect.

On Day 3, we're addressing this critical challenge with a session on "Enhance Digital Resilience While Leveraging AI for More Robust Services," where we explore the dual nature of AI in security: it's both a powerful tool for defenders and a new vulnerability that requires protection. You'll learn about protecting your AI environments through the Splunk and Cisco integration with Cisco AI Defense, discovering how to secure AI workloads, monitor AI systems for anomalies and attacks, and ensure that your AI implementations don't become your organization's Achilles' heel.

Finally, we’ll explore how to put AI in the hands of defenders, leveraging AI and ML to level the playing field against adversaries who are increasingly using these same technologies to enhance their attacks. When defenders have access to AI-powered tools that can analyze massive datasets, identify threats at machine speed, and recommend optimal response actions, they gain a critical advantage.
