Peter Wlodarczyk

Abstract:

Most of the Security Operation Centers struggle, because of lack of funding, staff, never finished work, shiny new penny or “more important projects”. What if I told you that most of them were not designed or/and implemented correctly? During my talk I will explain it to you how you can fix your SOC

Importance: Does your SOC struggle? You want to help but don’t know why? Fear not call Peter at Palo Alto Networks.. or read a book and do it yourself: “Elements of Security Operations”
