Think of the software supply chain as every software element in your organization—from software development of internal systems to open source or third-party enterprise software to vendors, partners, and even past suppliers who still hold access to company data or IT systems.

Can you really build a cloud-native SOC? As more organizations adopt cloud-native and cloud-hosted technologies, what do security teams and security practitioners need to consider when it comes to the SOC and cloud security?

We’ve all heard about cyberattacks on corporations, but when those attacks go after critical infrastructure, such as the energy grid, it can affect every person in the country. At the Modern SOC Summit, Pete Tseronis, former CTO at the Department of Energy (DoE), had a lively discussion with Adrienne Lotto, Chief Risk and Resilience Officer at the New York Power Authority (NYPA), and David Wells, Senior Advisor at the Department of Energy Office of Electricity, about current and future challenges of securing critical infrastructure.

As part of the move to the cloud, everything in the enterprise is being transformed—from infrastructure all the way to modern application development. Nowhere is this change more important than in the role of the CISO.

This year’s keynote at the Sumo Logic Modern SOC Summit addressed these questions and more as Greg Martin, Sumo Logic’s General Manager and VP of Security, talked with Byron Acohido, a Pulitzer-prize winning cybersecurity journalist, about some of the challenges and changes facing the modern SOC.

Does the SOC really need to be disrupted? In an EY survey, 59% of enterprises admitted experiencing a material or significant breach. Despite the fact that SOC spend dominates an organization’s cybersecurity budget, more than half of these SOCs were actually ineffective in protecting their organizations from attacks.
