About this webinar

Modern SOCs are overloaded.

Too many tools. Too many promises. Not enough clarity.

Join industry leaders Kumar Saurabh (AirMDR CEO and repeat founder) and Francis Odum (SACR CEO, cybersecurity researcher, and industry analyst) for a practical breakdown that goes back to basics: what to build, what to buy, and what to automate—and just as importantly, what not to.

They walk through the major SOC operating models in use today, share a quick maturity self-assessment and improvement roadmap, reality-test common security stacks, and ground it all in a real-world customer case study. The session ends with a clear, actionable decision checklist you can apply immediately.

What you’ll learn:

  • SOC operating models, and when each makes sense
  • SOC maturity: a quick self-assessment and improvement roadmap
  • Promise vs. reality: SIEM, SOAR, UEBA, MDR, AI agents, and human analysts
  • Workflow roadmap: what goes where in the SOC
  • Case study: decision process, implementation, and outcomes
  • Decision checklist: choosing the right build, buy, and automate mix

You’ll leave with a clearer view of how a modern SOC actually works—and a practical way to make smarter decisions with the tools, people, and budget you already have.
