Why Mid-Market Companies Stopped Building Their Own SOC
Overview
Four expert-led webinars. Real-world cyber risk, SOC strategy, AI governance, and vendor risk—plus live Q&A and take-home playbooks.
Summer 2026 Cyber Webinar Series is a four-part, 30-minute webinar series for mid-market leaders who need practical answers on the topics boards, insurers, and regulators are asking about right now: cyber insurance readiness, Managed SOC / detection, AI governance, and third-party vendor risk.
Each session is designed to be fast, tactical, and immediately usable. Less theory, more here's what to do next.
What to Expect If You Attend
Four concise sessions (30 minutes each) with time-boxed, real-world content and live Q&A

Recordings + slides delivered after each session (attend live for Q&A and the attendee bonus offers)

AGENDA
Jack Stose, SOC Manager, CyberSecOp, Christopher Yula, VP of Sales & Strategy , CyberSecOp
In 2025, the average organization took 181 days to identify a breach and another 60 to contain it. Meanwhile, attackers broke out of their initial foothold in 62 minutes — and Mandiant's 2026 M-Trends report documented intrusion team hand-offs happening in 22 seconds. Defenders are operating on calendar time. Attackers are on a stopwatch. For mid-market organizations, the in-house SOC math has stopped working: a true 24x7 rotation requires 8 to 12 analysts, costs $1.5M to $3M annually before tooling, and 65% of SOC analysts are considering leaving within the year. Join CyberSecOp's SOC Manager for a 30-minute look inside what a properly run Managed SOC actually does, how SIEM, UEBA, XDR, and EDR work together, and the Build/Buy/Partner framework mid-market CIOs are using to cut detection time from 241 days to under 14.
