About this event
For years, SOC services have followed a familiar model: collect security data, investigate threats, and tell clients when something is wrong. That work remains essential, but today’s CISOs need much more: a clear understanding of risk, priorities for improvement, evidence for governance and compliance, and information they can confidently take to the board.
AI creates an opportunity to rethink what a SOC service delivers—and to build that service around the needs of the business.
Join Chris Jordan, CEO of Fluency, alongside Henry Denner of ASI Connect and Patrick Evans, for a practical conversation about this shift. Drawing on Fluency’s experience supporting more than 14 MSSPs globally and Henry’s work reshaping service delivery in South Africa, they’ll explore how security providers can become a more valuable extension of the CISO’s team.
Henry will share his vision, the changes his team has made, and the positive response from clients who are gaining clearer insight into their risks and the actions they can take.
The discussion will explore:
Whether you lead a security team or deliver managed security services, join us to explore what clients should expect from the next generation of SOC services.

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.
