MSSP Transition: Practical Lessons Learned and Key Takeaways?
Transitioning MSSP providers is never just plug and play — it touches people, processes, and technology.

In this presentation, we’ll share key lessons learned along our journey: what worked well, where we hit challenges, and how we solved them. The goal is to provide a realistic view of the process and share our experience, so you can avoid common pitfalls.

A Software Developer's Perspective on SOAR
In the era of low-code platforms and AI, it may seem that traditional coding skills are becoming obsolete for building effective security automations. On the contrary - development expertise is more crucial than ever.

I will share Migros' journey, beginning with low-code solutions and evolving toward highly customized code. By leveraging Python and custom AI agentic workflows, we have developed use cases that fully replace the Tier 1 SOC analyst.

You have been breached – What now? - Cyber-Simulation Real Time Workshop
This workshop is a practical storyline which depends on YOUR decisions.

Together with your peers, you vote what action should be taken next on critical decision points throughout the attack chain: from initial help desk compromise and credential theft to MFA bypass. See how your decisions impact the business, the brand and the well-being of your team – will your incident response be successful before time and finances run out?

This lean table-top exercise was developed by CrowdStrike’s incident response team and is inspired by real incidents conducted by one of today’ most dangerous threat actors - a financially-motivated group infamous for sophisticated social engineering and stealthy techniques.

All you need for this insightful and fun workshop are your ideas and your phone to vote.

Breach and Attack Simulation: Rising necessity or fading trend?
Breach and Attack Simulation tools promise to test the organisation's defenses and detection capabilities. Automated and in-depth, covering more checks than a human tester could do. Various solutions are available (and for a while now) and SOCs have tested or are regularly using them. Let's discuss! Are these tools and approaches still relevant and living up to the promises? How do you get the most benefits from using them and what are pitfalls in your opinion?

Breakout Session No. 4: Xavier Coppin, Head of Cyber Defense Center at Skyguide

Beyond the Hype: What Really Works in Cyber Defense Today?
