Designing a new operating model for agentic security operations 3rd November

Outpace machine-speed AI attacks by redesigning your security operating model.

HotTopics C-suite Exchange, in partnership with 

With AI driving attacks at machine speed, threat actors hold a clear velocity advantage. Piling shiny new tools onto a legacy stack won't close that gap-it takes a structural redesign of your security operating model.  

To make rapid human judgment possible under squeezed attack timelines, you have to redesign the work itself: what agents investigate, what workflows execute, what analysts decide, and how every step stays clear and auditable.

In this C-Suite Exchange, hosted by HotTopics in partnership with Elastic, we look at how to build an effective, accountable operating model for agentic security. Elastic’s Deputy CISO joins to share how they're putting this into practice. Together, we'll examine the flaws of traditional SOCs, how specialised agents can work alongside analysts for faster outcomes, and why agentic security gives you speed without piling on complexity and risk.
