Turning Cybersecurity Strategy into Action: XDR, OSMP & Modern SOCs

Capiz Room, Level 4, Shangri-La The Fort, Bonifacio Global City

Enterprise Class Cyber Protection

Enterprise CISO Roundtable

As cyber risks intensify and regulatory expectations rise, CISOs are under increasing pressure to translate cybersecurity strategy into effective, measurable security operations.

This brings together leaders from BFSI and Government to examine how the Kaspersky Cybersecurity Framework can be operationalised through XDR, supported by OSMP, and extended into a practical Managed SOC (MSOC) model.

Through expert perspectives and peer discussion, the session will focus on unifying threat visibility, strengthening detection and response maturity, and building scalable SOC operations that deliver tangible risk reduction and operational efficiency.
