'More Data, Less Confidence: Why Security is Failing and What Happens Next'

Modern security teams have more data, more tools and more vendors than they’ve ever had. They’re also less confident that any of it is catching what matters. That’s the reality most CISOs spend their working hours navigating.

Most successful attacks today don’t use malware. They use legitimate tools and stolen credentials, blending in until they’re too deep to roll back. Shadow AI compounds the problem. Every unsanctioned chatbot and autonomous agent expands the attack surface in ways you can neither see nor control. By one estimate over half of UK employees use unsanctioned consumer AI tools at work every week.

Detection-first security was simply designed for a different threat and a different era. It does little but drown the SOC in false positives. There must be a better approach.

Join Bitdefender and a select group of your peers for an exclusive evening in which you’ll find out more. You’ll hear how reducing the attack surface dynamically and per-user changes the game for your adversaries. Where prevention-first architecture trumps detection-led tools, and where it doesn’t. And what AI-enabled operations look like inside the SOC — as well as what they don’t fix.

You’ll leave with a credible story to tell the board about security outcomes, anchored in evidence rather than activity. If you’ve found yourself wondering whether your security investment is actually buying what your board thinks it’s buying, this evening is for you.
