The 2024 Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit (SRMS) in National Harbor, Maryland will take place this June, bringing together security leaders from across the globe to discuss the most pressing challenges and emerging trends in the cybersecurity landscape.

Strike Graph, a leading provider of security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) solutions, is here to help you keep a pulse on the insights you should be looking out for if you’re interested in attending. Here's a breakdown of some of the most critical themes that we predict will resonate throughout the summit:

1. The Rise of Business-Aligned Security:

Gone are the days when security functioned as a siloed entity.  A clear shift towards business-aligned security was evident. Discussions will be focused on integrating security strategies with broader business objectives, ensuring security measures enhance operational efficiency and support organizational goals.

2. Prioritizing Minimum Effective Security:

The summit will emphasize the importance of a minimum effective security (MES) mindset.  Instead of overwhelming teams with an ever-growing list of security tools, the focus is on identifying and implementing the most impactful security practices and technologies for your organization's specific needs.

3. Human-Centric Security is Paramount:

While technology plays a crucial role, the summit will highlight the human element as a critical factor in cybersecurity.  Building a positive security culture, empowering employees to make informed decisions, and fostering ongoing security awareness training were all emphasized as vital aspects of a robust security posture.

4. The Power of Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR):

With the ever-increasing volume and complexity of cyber threats, SOAR solutions will emerge as a valuable tool for security teams.  Strike Graph, a leader in the SOAR space, is hosting an after-party on night two, with additional details below. Meet with us to learn more about how automation can streamline incident response workflows, improve analyst productivity, and enable faster threat containment.

5. Embracing a Zero-Trust Approach:

The summit will underscore the growing adoption of zero-trust security models. Moving beyond traditional perimeter defenses, zero-trust prioritizes continuous verification and authorization regardless of a user's location or device.
