OpenXDR and the Evolution of Security Operations with Henk van der Heijden of Stellar Cyber

How has the modern SOC evolved from basic log monitoring into an AI-assisted, OpenXDR-driven security operation?

In this episode of the NEVERHACK Estonia Cybercast, Louis Zezeran is joined by Henk van der Heijden, Vice President of Sales at Stellar Cyber, for a conversation about the changing reality of security operations. They explore how the old SIEM model has given way to more connected platforms, why East-West visibility matters for spotting attacker movement, and how AI can help reduce alert fatigue and analyst burnout.

The discussion also looks at one of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity today: how to build and retain strong SOC teams in a market with too many alerts and too few skilled people. Rather than replacing analysts, AI is helping them move toward higher-value work.

If you want practical insight into where SOCs are heading and what modern security operations should look like, this is an episode worth hearing.
