The Modern SOC: Transforming security operations with Al and automation

Security teams are dealing with massive data growth, siloed tools, and constant alert fatigue. All of this makes it harder to detect and respond to threats. AI has become a key part of the solution, but its effectiveness depends on having access to complete, high-quality data. In this session, Palo Alto Networks and Deloitte will explore how AI and automation are redefining the modern Security Operations Center (SOC). Learn how leading organizations are leveraging intelligent workflows, automated threat detection, and machine learning to accelerate response times, reduce analyst fatigue, and strengthen overall security posture.

SIEM Migration in 68 Days

In this session, we will discuss how the University of Pittsburgh was able to modernize their data processing strategy, migrate to a new SIEM solution, and avoid ballooning SIEM costs all within 68 days from the first install of a Cribl product. We will showcase how we were able to use Cribl's software to easily handle the following scenarios: 100% agent replacement and consolidation using Cribl Stream Workers and Edge.

Making Observability AI-Native with the Logz.io MCP Server

Now available: Secure, real-time access to your observability data via Logz.io’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server. The Logz.io MCP Server brings your logs, metrics, and telemetry data into the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an emerging open standard that lets AI systems query real data securely and contextually, in real time. That means any MCP-compatible LLM, like Claude Desktop, Cursor, your own AI agent… can now connect directly to your Logz.io environment.

Messaging Infrastructure Is Still in the Dark: The Observability Illusion Costing Millions

In today’s always-on digital world, even the best messaging platforms—like Apache Kafka and Apache ActiveMQ—can become blind spots that undermine resilience. This article exposes the “observability illusion” many organizations face, showing how limited visibility and manual processes lead to outages, high costs, and constant firefighting. Learn how meshIQ transforms reactive operations into proactive engineering through unified observability, automation, and self-service.

Observability and FedRAMP in Action: The VA's Mission to Deliver Reliable Digital Service

Ensuring digital services remain accessible, reliable, and secure is a high priority for any organization operating at scale. For the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), this focus is central to its mission of providing quality care to veterans, their families, and caregivers. Often described as “the largest IT shop in the United States,” the VA manages 2.7 million pieces of equipment across a vast network of interconnected systems.

Unify Observability, Surface Business Impact, and Solve Problems Using AI Agents with Latest Splunk Observability Innovations

In September at.conf25, we announced how Splunk is shaping the future of digital resilience in the age of AI. Agentic AI is rewriting what it takes to build a leading observability practice. As vibe coding gains steam, applications will be built with less human involvement. At the same time, the rise of AI agents demands specialized telemetry to ensure models are performing as intended—aligned to their business purpose and cost.

Splunk Advances the OpenTelemetry Project with Its Latest Donation, the OpenTelemetry Injector

Splunk is very excited to be sponsoring Kubecon North America once again, kicking off this week in Atlanta, GA. As many know, Splunk is one of the top contributors to the OpenTelemetry project. We’re happy to have sent many of the Splunkers who serve as project maintainers and contributors to lead SIG meetings and engage with the greater community in the OpenTelemetry Observatory, sponsored by Splunk.
