The Architect of Resilience — Moving from Human-Scale Defense to the Autonomous Enterprise
Hosted by Palo Alto Networks
The CIO is the primary Architect of Resilience amid today’s urgent transition from fragmented, "best-of-breed" security to the era of the autonomous SOC. Technology strategy is shifting from manual triage to a unified data fabric, where precision AI replaces the noise of legacy infrastructure to eliminate the "data tax" and bridge the persistent cybersecurity talent gap. What are key strategies that CIOs can leverage for their roadmap to move beyond human-scale defense, transforming security from a reactive cost center into a self-healing engine of business continuity that secures the enterprise’s digital frontier?
Join this Town Hall to discuss:
- Architecting a shift away from legacy, manual-first security operations towards a self-healing SOC that functions at the speed of the machine
- Consolidating fragmented "best-of-breed" tools into a unified data fabric to streamline data, reduce costs, and close talent gaps
- Advancing resilience as a competitive advantage to support innovation and business growth
