“Failure to Communicate: Why Execs Don’t Buy SOC Teams the Tools They Need” – a live webinar hosted by BleepingComputer and featuring Adrian Sanabria and David Girvin of Sumo Logic – addresses a critical disconnect within cybersecurity operations. The core issue centers on the misalignment between executive-driven purchasing decisions and the day-to-day operational realities faced by security operations centers (SOCs). Executives often prioritize strategic goals – such as consolidation or leveraging emerging AI capabilities – leading to tool selections that fail to fully support the practical demands of frontline defenders. This results in alert fatigue, shallow integrations, and workflows that impede responsiveness during genuine security incidents. The webinar unpacks the consequences of this disconnect, highlighting how these “well-intentioned” platform decisions can quickly become ineffective in live operational environments. Defenders find themselves constantly adapting to tools that don’t accurately reflect the nature of attacks, translating into wasted time, missed critical signals, and a hampered ability to maintain defensive effectiveness. The session aims to provide actionable strategies for regaining control and prioritizing operational needs. Specifically, the discussion will cover the essential capabilities that SOC teams genuinely rely on, alongside techniques for understanding why conventional platform choices often fall short when deployed in production contexts. Furthermore, the webinar will demonstrate methods for extracting tangible value from existing technology investments and, crucially, establish improved collaboration between executive leadership and SOC practitioners. A key focus will be evaluating the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI) features, shifting the emphasis from marketing appeal to demonstrable real-world impact. The presentation intends to equip security leaders and operational managers with the knowledge necessary to build more resilient and efficient defenses by ensuring that technology investments directly support and enhance the capabilities of the security team. The event ultimately seeks to bridge the communication gap and foster a more coherent and effective cybersecurity posture within organizations. |
