Event Description

Modern threats move faster than static defenses can handle. Security leaders and technical teams alike are rearchitecting how they detect, respond, and adapt in real time. This roundtable will explore how organizations are integrating NetOps and SecOps, operationalizing threat intelligence, and building flexible security architectures that support both resilience and speed. If you're navigating hybrid environments, managing shifting attack surfaces, or evolving your program to stay ahead of adversaries and audit requirements alike, this event is for you.

BWG Connect, Insight & Cisco invite you to participate in an interactive discussion with your peers.

As always, there will be no sales pitches and there is no cost to join.
