WEBINAR

Rethinking Security Data: Building the Agentic SOC with a Data Fabric Foundation

Thursday, 19 February, 2026  |  10AM–11AM GMT

Featuring experts from IDC and Splunk

Security teams are facing a perfect storm: staggering data growth, cost and complexity are forcing critical gaps in coverage. The result? Visibility gaps, alert overload, and investigations that simply can’t keep pace with today’s threat landscape.

In today’s AI era, the success of every SOC – human-led or AI-assisted, depends on one thing: high-quality, accessible, contextual security data. Without it, detections weaken, investigations stall, and AI initiatives fail before they start.

Join experts from IDC and Splunk for a timely and practical discussion on why the future of the agentic SOC starts with having a better data foundation.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • Why security teams are experiencing a major data breaking point and what’s needed to fix it: IDC will unpack the rising data and operational pressures facing SOCs, and the implications of AI-driven threats on detection and response workflows.
  • The Reality of the Agentic SOC: Why security outcomes now depend on an open data fabric that unifies telemetry from the edge, cloud, and on-premises without the friction of centralization.
  • Strategies to maximize visibility while minimizing cost: Learn how SOC engineers use the advanced data management capabilities available in Splunk Enterprise Security to orchestrate efficient pipelines, federate cloud data, and maintain complete coverage across on-prem, cloud, and SaaS environments.
  • Solving the Visibility Paradox: How to stop moving data unnecessarily and instead bring the power of analytics directly to the source to eliminate security blind spots and accelerate investigation timelines.
  • Optimizing Economics: How to federally search and analyze data at near-infinite scale to reduce storage costs while maintaining the governance required for modern digital operations.
  • How Splunk security and the next generation Cisco Data Fabric architecture powers the strongest security data foundation in the industry: Discover how modern SOCs can combine a security-grade data fabric with analytics, out-of-the-box detections, detection authoring tools, and agentic AI to continuously adapt to new threats.

Register now! Whether you're a CISO, SOC manager, detection engineer, or front-line security analyst, this session will show you how to take immediate steps toward an AI-ready, future-proof SOC - grounded in data, driven by intelligence, and powered by Splunk.

This session will be broadcast in English, but closed captions (subtitles) are available in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.
