Presented by Peter Ingebrigtsen, Sr Technical Marketing Manager • Arctic Wolf
Cybersecurity threats don’t emerge in isolation—they are observed, analyzed, and stopped by real people working on the front lines every day. This session pulls back the curtain on modern security operations, focusing on the human-driven research that powers effective threat detection, incident response, and adaptive security strategies.
Drawing on Arctic Wolf Labs research, SOC analyst expertise, and real-world incident data, this talk examines how today’s attacks are identified, contextualized, and disrupted in live environments. Attendees will gain insight into the patterns behind the most persistent threats, how adversaries continually adapt, and why defenders must evolve just as quickly. Rather than focusing solely on tools or alerts, this session highlights the people, processes, and intelligence that transform raw telemetry into actionable defense - illustrating how to turn frontline observations into scalable protection for organizations of all sizes.
