Sangfor Technologies successfully organized a Customer Security Workshop in Lahore in collaboration with its distributor NetSoft Solutions, bringing together more than 70 customers from diverse industries for in depth discussions on enterprise cybersecurity. The session provided a platform for technology leaders and security professionals to exchange insights on strengthening security frameworks across cloud and on premises environments while addressing evolving risk landscapes faced by organizations in Pakistan.
The workshop focused on Sangfor Athena SecOps and its role in helping enterprises build a unified and proactive security posture. Participants were introduced to how Managed Detection and Response and Extended Detection and Response capabilities contribute to centralized threat visibility and coordinated incident management. By integrating MDR and XDR within a broader SecOps framework, organizations can streamline detection processes and respond to threats more efficiently across endpoints, networks, and cloud workloads. The discussions highlighted how unified threat intelligence and real time monitoring can reduce response times while improving operational clarity for security teams managing complex infrastructures.
Attendees also explored Sangfor Cloud and Security solutions, including Athena NGFW, to understand how modern firewall technologies align with broader security operations strategies. The session examined how next generation firewall capabilities can be integrated with cloud protection and endpoint security tools to create a cohesive defense architecture. Speakers outlined how such integration enhances network visibility, enforces consistent security policies, and supports compliance requirements across hybrid environments. By combining cloud security, network controls, and endpoint defenses within a centralized management structure, organizations can strengthen resilience while maintaining flexibility in digital transformation initiatives.
The interactive format of the workshop encouraged open dialogue, allowing customers to share practical challenges and real world scenarios encountered within their respective sectors. Industry representatives discussed concerns related to threat detection gaps, incident response coordination, and maintaining visibility across distributed assets. Sangfor experts addressed these topics by demonstrating how the Athena SecOps framework supports continuous monitoring, automated analysis, and coordinated response workflows. The strong participation and engagement throughout the session reflected growing interest among enterprises in adopting integrated security platforms that can adapt to evolving cyber risks. Sangfor Technologies and NetSoft Solutions expressed appreciation to the Lahore based customers for their active involvement and constructive exchanges, noting that collaborative discussions such as these play an important role in advancing enterprise security awareness and implementation across the region.
