Cyber: Webinar: Why Execs Don’t Buy SOC Teams The Tools They Need 2026

Security teams are expected to detect and respond to attacks in real time—but often with tools they didn’t choose and workflows that weren’t built for them.

On January 29 at 2:00 PM ET, BleepingComputer will host a live webinar with Adrian Sanabria and David Girvin of Sumo Logic, exploring the disconnect between executive-driven security purchasing and the operational realities defenders face every day.

The webinar, “Failure to communicate: Why execs don’t buy SOC teams the tools they need,” will take a practical look at how platform decisions are often driven by consolidation goals, AI promises, or budget constraints, leaving SOC teams to navigate alert fatigue, brittle integrations, and tools that fall short in real-world conditions.

Sumo Logic, a cloud-native analytics and security platform, helps teams cut through complexity to extract real signals from noisy tools. By focusing on operational outcomes, automation, and visibility, Sumo Logic enables defenders to do more with the tools already in place—without waiting on another platform change.

In this timely webinar, security practitioners will learn how to identify the capabilities they truly rely on, how to evaluate which AI features are worth adopting, and how to “manage up” when executive priorities don’t align with front-line needs.

When tools are selected based on high-level promises rather than day-to-day requirements, the result is often alert overload, shallow integrations, and workflows that stall in the moments that matter. Defenders are left adapting to tools that don’t reflect how real attacks operate—wasting time, missing signals, and struggling to maintain effectiveness.

This webinar will provide strategies for regaining control, surfacing the capabilities that matter most, and building alignment between security operations and organizational priorities.

Don’t miss this practical discussion for security teams navigating the reality of “do more with less.”

As MCP (Model Context Protocol) becomes the standard for connecting LLMs to tools and data, security teams are moving fast to keep these new services safe.
