EXPONENT 2026 On-Demand Session
Product Keynote:
Build Your Own AI Driven SOC

Six minutes. That's the fastest intrusion-to-exfiltration time ReliaQuest saw last year. Sixteen days—the average time an attacker lived undetected in customer networks.

ReliaQuest President of Product and Technical Operations Brian Foster opens his EXPONENT 2026 product keynote with those two numbers, and uses them to frame a blunt argument: if your SOC is still built around humans manually investigating and responding to alerts, you will not keep up with adversaries moving at machine speed.

Foster walks through what that change looks like in practice—mapping new GreyMatter capabilities to a maturity journey from reactive to proactive—and toward predictive operations.
