Community & Events
Built by Practitioners.
For Practitioners.
Crogl believes the security community gets stronger when practitioners share what they've actually learned — not what vendors want them to hear. We host, sponsor, and participate in events built around honest conversation, hands-on learning, and peer exchange.

Crogl-Hosted Event
The AI SOC Summit
The first practitioner-owned event dedicated to AI in security operations.
The AI SOC Summit was built on a simple premise: security analysts deserve a space to test AI tools honestly, learn from peers who've actually deployed them, and ask hard questions without sitting through vendor pitches.
The inaugural summit took place March 3, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Tysons Corner in Tysons, Virginia. Two parallel tracks ran throughout the day — a hands-on hackathon where participants tackled real SOC challenges with and without AI, and structured breakout sessions designed for peer discussion and shared problem-solving.
No slide-heavy presentations. No vendor-led sessions. Just practitioners, real problems, and straight talk.

“Security analysts solve complex problems under pressure every day, often with incomplete data and limited time. They don't need another sales-driven event.”
— Monzy Merza, CEO, Crogl
