Strengthening Cybersecurity with Unified Security and Network Operations (SNOC)
Does your IT operation still look like this: Security teams and network teams operating in separate silos, occasionally lobbing information at one another – each doing their job, but rarely quite in sync. It’s a model that’s served organisations for decades. The trouble is, it’s no longer fit for purpose.
Martin Walzer, Senior Manager of Sales Engineering at ExtraHop Networks, makes the case for tearing down those walls for good. In this session, he’ll examine what genuine convergence between Network Operations (NetOps) and Security Operations (SecOps) actually looks like in practice — and why getting it right matters far more than most organisations realise.
The benefits, it turns out, are considerable: faster and more accurate threat detection, sharper incident response, improved network resilience, and a security posture that’s proactive rather than perpetually reactive. Done well, a unified SNOC doesn’t just reduce risk – it makes the whole operation run better.
Attendees will leave with practical, hard-won guidance on how to bring these two disciplines together effectively, sidestep the pitfalls that typically derail such efforts, and build something that genuinely holds up under pressure.
