SecOps automation vs. SOAR - what's different?

Traditional SOAR promised to accelerate response, but in practice, most teams found themselves buried under complex playbooks, rigid integrations, and alert fatigue. In this live session, Chris Ray (Field CTO, GigaOm) and Taylor Smith (Product, Exaforce) break down how modern SecOps automation is moving beyond SOAR’s limitations to deliver real-time detection, triage, and response powered by agentic AI.

You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how security operations are evolving from scripted workflows to intelligent, autonomous systems that learn, adapt, and act across the entire incident lifecycle.
