Join our discussion to explore how modern cloud security demands are being met through the combined power of Precision AI and cloud platformization. You will learn how Palo Alto Networks' ortex XSIAM leverages AI-driven insights to deliver more accurate, real-time threat detection and automated response, significantly reducing false positives and enhancing operational efficiency. We’ll also cover how Prisma Cloud extends this protection across the entire cloud-native stack, providing comprehensive security for workloads, containers, and applications. Integrating these capabilities into a unified platform allows security teams to streamline workflows, improve visibility, and dramatically accelerate Mean Time to Identify (MTTI) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) for threats across cloud environments. Through real-world examples and live demonstrations, we will showcase how these technologies enable organizations to respond faster, secure their cloud-native infrastructure with greater precision, and reduce complexity—all while adapting to the rapidly evolving cloud security landscape.
Henry Reed is a domain consultant specializing in security operations, focusing on Cortex XSIAM and cloud detection and response. Before his current role, Henry was a cloud architect on the Prisma Cloud team, delivering advanced cloud security solutions to enterprise clients across Chicago, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis. Based in Carmel, Indiana, Henry has played a key role in shaping and communicating Palo Alto Networks’ cloud platformization strategy through close collaboration with the product teams.

Even setting foot on a field of battle, whether for team sports or military purposes, requires extreme self-confidence. If you don't believe you can win, you very likely won't. In the war against cyber crime, however, it's important to balance that confidence with the understanding that this is also a team sport - and hat none of us can win alone. Join us for a discussion on navigating the line between confidence and arrogance - and knowing when and how to seek and accept help from others.
Eric has been working in computing and networking for almost 40 years, and had been focused on cybersecurity since the mid 90's. While primarily a left-brained, logic-minded, full-on nerd and engineer that has served in just about every technical capacity from coding, to technical support, to pre and post-sales work, he currently spends the majority of his time working with clients to solve their varied security challenges. Once referred to as an "eloquent nerd", Eric leverages his passion, collective experience, creative thinking, and a empathetic understanding of customer issues and motivations to architect solutions to difficult problems while fostering deeper comprehension with those he works with and teaches. Almost above all, Eric enjoys what he does and tries to instill some "fun" in all of his outreach.
