About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of AI on cybersecurity and the evolving role of Security Operations Centres.

AI is transforming cybersecurity, but does that mean organisations no longer need a Security Operations Centre? In this episode, Alex Hooper is joined by Rob Quickenden, CTO at Cisilion and Guy Golan, Co-Founder and CEO of Performanta, to discuss the future of security operations. Together they explore how AI is changing threat detection and response, why reducing business risk is more important than managing alerts and where human expertise remains essential. The conversation also covers identity security, proactive monitoring, cyber resilience and the practical steps organisations can take to strengthen their security posture. A must-listen for technology and security leaders navigating today's rapidly evolving threat landscape.
