Topic for the dinner
 
AI or Die: Will Agentic AI and Hyper automation Save the SOC?
 
The promise of SOAR has repeatedly failed. Organizations have invested heavily in enterprise solutions yet the ability to deliver automated, preventative and corrective measures still remains a distant reality for most CISOs. Why?
 
The concept of an Autonomous SOC is everywhere - promising to streamline security operations processes, reduce analyst alert fatigue, and improve overall security posture.
 
But how does the dream of an Autonomous SOC play out in the real world of security operations? Is 2025 the year that Agentic AI and Hyper automation saves the SOC?
 
 
 

 

Our Speaker

 

Patrick Orzechowski, Field CISO @ Torq

 

Before joining Torq in 2024, Patrick was a co-founding employee of Deepwatch, where he helped launch and scale the Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service under the GuidePoint Security brand. Over the course of his tenure, Patrick contributed to Deepwatch’s growth by leading efforts in architecture, operations, presales, customer relations and corporate strategy.

He began his career in the Symantec Security Operations Center (SOC), where he honed his skills in threat detection, incident response, and forensics. Patrick’s career trajectory has taken him across diverse roles in cybersecurity, including serving on blue teams defending critical infrastructure, engaging in purple team initiatives to bridge offensive and defensive strategies, and conducting advanced adversarial simulations as part of red team operations.
