No BS Advice from Industry Leaders

Large Language Models (LLMs), a sub-set of the AI tools category, are helping security teams innovate like never before. While AI won’t replace teams in Security Operations Centers (SOCs) anytime soon, it can deliver scale, accelerate response times, and enhance real-time operations when used effectively. At a broader enterprise level, while organizations are eager to harness AI for efficiency and actionable insights, its rapid evolution also introduces new, hard-to-measure risks, requiring a fresh approach to governance and compliance.

Cybersecurity strategies have traditionally centered on protecting IT systems: data, networks, endpoints, and cloud environments. But as industrial systems, critical infrastructure, and production environments grow increasingly digitized, attackers are shifting their focus to operational technology (OT) environments, where the majority of organizations still lack basic protections. Why? OT is fundamentally different from IT: it prioritizes uptime, safety, and continuity, and it wasn’t designed with modern threats in mind. Join Cybolt's Erik Holmes, Vice President, Managed Security Services and Enrique Azuara, Vice President, OT Security, to learn how organizations can secure OT alongside IT, without disrupting operations. They’ll outline practical strategies for building integrated security and compliance programs across both domains.

Small managed security providers face two major challenges growing their businesses. First, the market is crowded, competitive, and often commoditized, making it difficult to stand out and win new clients. Second, they don’t have the budget or resources to compete with larger companies that offer the same services. So, how does David stand out in an industry crowded with Goliaths?

It’s another day and another story about a household brand suffering a debilitating data breach or crippling cyber attack. But far fewer headlines tout this fact: almost half of all cybercrime targets small and medium-sized businesses. If you’re running one of these companies, you probably know, anecdotally, that the threat of cybercrime is rising – your insurance premiums tell you as much. But can you answer this specific question: How secure am I?

As the regulatory landscape is growing more complex and compliance requirements more onerous is news to no one. What to do about it is another matter entirely. Increasingly, organizations faced with burdensome tasking, tracking and reporting requirements are ditching spreadsheets and manual work for transformative platforms that bring more visibility to compliance, while eliminating its heavy lift. The results: quantifiable cost savings, and a mastery of compliance obligations that can lower risk, accelerate revenue and deliver more investor confidence.

If you’re responsible for growing a managed security practice, you’re already well acquainted with the acute go-to-market challenges every provider faces: stiff competition trying to tell some version of the same story, a wide breadth of customers with a diverse set of needs and budgets, and value propositions that are material, but hard to quantify. How do you differentiate your services in an increasingly competitive, commoditized space?
