Security teams today face rising threats, alert fatigue, and a shortage of skilled analysts. At the same time, CISOs are under pressure to improve response times and reduce costs. To meet these demands, organizations are turning to Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platforms, but not all SOAR solutions are created equal.

Modern SOAR is no longer just about incident response. With the infusion of generative AI and hyperautomation, SOAR has the potential to drive business-wide efficiency, extend beyond IT, and become a central nervous system for the modern Security Operations Center (SOC). But how do you distinguish real innovation from marketing hype?

Alejandro Leal, Senior Analyst at KuppingerCole, will provide a strategic perspective on SOAR trends, including where AI is making a tangible impact, what hyperautomation really means in a SOC context, and how SOAR is evolving beyond cybersecurity use cases. He will also highlight what buyers should look for in a modern solution.

Kevin Faulkner, Product Marketing Director at Fortinet, will explore how FortiSOAR fits into this shifting landscape. He will share real-world customer profiles, explain key use cases, and outline FortiSOAR’s value for managed service providers. Expect insights on embedded vs. stand-alone automation and where SOAR is headed next.
