The rules of engagement have changed. In today’s volatile geopolitical climate, we are witnessing a shift in strategy from state-aligned actors. It is no longer just about silent espionage or data theft—the focus has moved toward disruption and destruction.

For security practitioners, the question is no longer "How do we stop the breach?" but "How do we ensure our organization survives a destructive event?"

We invite you to the Bite of Tech at our EMEA Headquarters in Amsterdam for a day dedicated to the technical strategies required to maintain digital sovereignty. This isn’t a series of slide decks—it’s an immersive deep dive into the latest Cortex innovations and the real-world application of threat intelligence.

The Mission Briefing

• The Intelligence Brief (Unit 42): An inside look at how global geopolitical tensions are manifesting in the digital domain and uncovering their modus operandi.
• Sovereignty & NIS2: New legislation is coming! How do we meet the strict requirements of NIS2 while ensuring Dutch data remains under our control and resilient in times of geopolitical tension.
• The Cortex Evolution: A technical showcase with, new innovations, of how XSIAM and the Cortex portfolio are pivoting to detect the subtle indicators of a destructive attack .
• The New Reality in Practice (Customer Case Study): Transitioning from a reactive legacy SIEM to an autonomous SOC is far more than a techchange. Hear how a leading organization synchronized mindset adaptation and process development to move beyond manual firefighting. This session explores the cultural and operational shift required to outpace destructive adversaries at machine speed.
• The XSIAM Gauntlet (Capture the Flag): Test your reflexes in a gamified, high-stakes environment. You will be tasked with identifying and neutralizing adversaries within a simulated infrastructure.
• The SOC-ial Hour: Decompress with your peers over "Cyber Snacks" and drinks at our Amsterdam HQ.
