Description

In today’s threat landscape, speed of response is no longer enough. Leading organizations are shifting from reactive security operations to proactive, intelligence-driven defense—where threats are identified, tested, and mitigated before they materialize.

In this session, T-Mobile CISO Mark Clancy shares how his team evolved from a traditional SOC model into a modern Cyber Defense Center that actively hunts threats in real time. By combining adversary simulation, continuous validation, and cross-industry intelligence sharing, T-Mobile has redefined how security teams anticipate and defend against emerging risks.

Attendees will gain a practical framework for moving beyond alert-driven operations to a proactive model—where organizations don’t just respond to attackers, they think and operate like them.
