Fluency invites you to their event
About this event
AI didn't arrive in the SOC as a feature. It arrived as a change in what a security operation is — what analysts spend their day doing, what a detection actually costs, how fast an investigation closes, and what attackers can now do at scale.
In this session, Henry Denner of Conekt and Fluency CEO Chris Jordan compare notes on what has genuinely changed in security operations and what has only been rebranded. Henry runs detection for clients across South Africa and abroad; Chris has spent years building the architecture underneath it. Patrick Evans moderates.
Expect specifics rather than positioning: where AI removes real work, where it quietly introduces new risk, and what defending clients against AI-driven attacks now demands of a provider.

Henry Denner is Cyber and GRC Lead at Conekt, the Johannesburg-based ICT firm whose security practice delivers managed detection and response, threat intelligence, risk assessments and penetration testing to clients in South Africa and abroad. He has seen the SOC from both sides. Following a breach at the Gautrain Management Agency, Henry moved from IT management into the Information Security Officer role and built the agency's security program and ISMS from nothing — an architecture spanning cloud, endpoint, application and data security, backed by a managed SOC. He now sits on the provider side of that same relationship, which makes him unusually direct about what AI genuinely changes in security operations and what it merely rebrands. His guiding principle hasn't changed: security must be an enabler, not just a bunch of controls.
Fluency Security is a pioneer in high-capacity flow and log management, offering a next-generation incident response platform that leverages big data infrastructure for comprehensive security analytics.
