Early-stage companies are built to move fast. Security, unfortunately, doesn’t automatically scale at the same pace.
At first, it’s workable: a few log sources, some alerts, an endpoint tool, a founder or engineer “keeping an eye on things,” and the occasional scramble when something looks off. But then the business evolves: more customers, more integrations, more cloud services, more identities, more data, and more expectations. Suddenly, what was “good enough” becomes fragile:
- Customers start asking security questions your team can’t answer quickly (or confidently)
- Compliance requirements and audit requests get real, and repetitive
- You add systems faster than you can monitor them
- Incidents become harder to investigate because logs are scattered, and context is missing
- You’re paying for tools, but still don’t have a reliable way to detect and respond
This session is designed to help you answer the big maturity questions without guesswork:
When are you ready for SIEM? When do you need SOAR?
When does it make sense to use a managed service (MSSP/MDR) versus building an in-house SOC? And what’s the “next step” path that won’t slow the business down?
You’ll hear practical, experience-driven guidance from GlassHouse Systems (a leading Google SecOps MSSP) and the Co-Founder and CTO of a GCP-based online gaming software company, covering what changed as the business scaled, what signals showed it was time to invest, and what they’d do differently if they had to do it again.
