 Speakers

9:30 - 12:00

Exclusive, peer-led roundtables for MSSPs and telcos to exchange insights and tackle real-world challenges across SecOps and SOC transformation, SD-WAN and SASE, and emerging service models.

Designed to help you deliver AI-powered, automated, and scalable security services—while ensuring data sovereignty, operational control, and compliance remain at the core.

 

Roundtable 1 - SASE, is the industry fulfilling the promise ?

Moderated by Gregory Soileux - Business Development Manager

SASE has emerged as a strategic growth opportunity for telecom operators and MSSPs looking to deliver integrated networking and cybersecurity services. But beyond the market momentum, many providers are still facing key operational and business challenges: multi-vendor integration, service scalability, visibility, automation, customer onboarding, and profitability of managed SASE offerings.
This panel gathers product leaders, commercial executives, and technology experts to discuss whether the industry is truly fulfilling the SASE promise for service providers. Are platforms mature enough for MSSPs? What do enterprise customers really expect? And how can operators and MSSPs build differentiated, scalable, and profitable managed SASE services in an increasingly competitive market?
A practical discussion on the reality of SASE adoption, delivery, and monetization.

Roundtable 2 - The Agentic AI Adoption in the SOC : Dreams vs Reality

Moderated by Guillaume Schlienger - Business Development Manager

 Is Agentic AI a game changer in my SOC and how ? or How Agentic AI is a game changer in my SOC ?
•    Is Agentic AI a danger in my SOC Operations ? 
•    What is/are “the additional coverage” within my SOC operations (additionally than today) with the Agentic AI outcomes ?

What is the real impact of Agentic AI on today’s SOC operations? Is it already transforming the way SOC teams detect, investigate, and respond to threats — or is the industry still in the experimentation phase? This roundtable will explore current adoption trends, operational use cases, and the measurable outcomes organizations are beginning to achieve with Agentic AI in the SOC.

Roundtable 3 - Scaling Managed Security for SMB: From Market Opportunity to Profitable Growth

Moderated by Luis Silva - Business Development Manager

This interactive roundtable explores how MSSPs and Service Providers can scale profitable SMB managed security services through Managed SASE, MDR, AI, and automation. Discussions will focus on customer needs, scalable service models, operational efficiency, and how to accelerate recurring revenue growth while simplifying cybersecurity delivery.

Roundtable 4 - Securing AI Platforms: Separating Real Risk from AI Hype

Moderated by Nishant Mittal - Director Telco Sales Expert - EMEA

AI is transforming enterprises rapidly, but organizations are struggling to distinguish real security priorities from industry hype. This roundtable brings together cybersecurity and technology leaders to discuss practical challenges around securing AI platforms, managing Shadow AI, protecting enterprise data, governing AI usage, and preparing for autonomous AI agents. Join an interactive discussion to exchange experiences, strategies, and perspectives on enabling AI innovation securely.

Roundtable 5 - Hype, Headlines, and Reality: What Attackers Actually Do

Moderated by Eelco Duijker - Senior Systems Engineer

Every week there’s a new cybersecurity headline, AI panic, “next-generation” attack, or trend that supposedly changes everything. If you look at what attackers are really doing, a lot of the same techniques and weaknesses still keep working surprisingly well.
But how do these developments translate into day-to-day operational reality for SOCs, Telcos, and Service Providers?
This interactive roundtable is designed as an open peer discussion to exchange frontline observations, compare real-world experiences, and explore the threats, techniques, and operational challenges security teams are currently facing. A collaborative session focused on practical insights, shared learning, and meaningful industry dialogue.
