Modern SOCs with Obrela and Palo Alto Networks

Building the Future of Cyber Resilience for Global Enterprises

Security operations are facing unprecedented strain. Attacks now unfold in hours, adversaries weaponize automation and AI, and security teams are overwhelmed by fragmented tools, manual investigations, and escalating alert volumes. As environments expand across cloud, identity, and operational technology (OT), traditional SIEM-centric SOC models can no longer keep pace.

These challenges are even more acute in high-risk industries such as financial services, telecommunications, maritime, and energy, where even short disruptions carry serious regulatory, financial, and safety implications.

Why Traditional SOC Models Are Falling Behind

Modern attackers move faster than legacy operations can respond. Multiextortion attacks continue to rise, and many SOCs struggle to correlate endpoint, network, identity, and cloud telemetry quickly enough to stop advanced threats. Visibility without context leads to delayed decisions, inefficient response, and increased business risk.

To stay ahead, organizations need a new operational model—one that unifies data, applies AI-driven analytics, automates response, and aligns every action to real business risk, supported by experienced human intelligence.


AI-Powered Platformization with Operational Intelligence

The Obrela and Palo Alto Networks partnership is built on a shared vision: enabling cyber resilience through a modern, data-driven SOC model that operates at scale without sacrificing transparency or control.

The Palo Alto Networks Cortex® platform provides unified visibility across endpoints, networks, identities, and clouds, delivering high-fidelity analytics and automation at speed. Obrela builds on this foundation with its proprietary Swordfish® Cyber Risk Management platform and global Resilience Operations Centers (ROC)—adding business, asset, and risk context to every security decision.

Together, this integrated architecture enables:

  • Faster detection and response
  • Risk-based prioritization aligned to real-world impact
  • Automated containment with full auditability
  • Scalable SOC-as-a-Service and MDR delivery worldwide

Built for Measurable Outcomes

Palo Alto Networks delivers the platform power. Obrela delivers the operational intelligence, human expertise, and global execution. The result is a modern SOC model that is scalable, transparent, and focused on what matters most—protecting business continuity, compliance, and trust.


Visibility alone is no longer enough. Learn how AI-powered platformization combined with operational intelligence transforms security operations and enables true cyber resilience.
