Episode notes
AI's Hype Surpasses Impact
- Despite expectations, AI at RSA 2025 didn't deliver solid, measurably better security outcomes yet.
- There was more hype and good ideas with potential than substantial success.
AI Can't Fully Replace Humans
- Security challenges are AI addressable but not fully AI solvable; humans remain essential in SOC roles.
- AI changes roles but does not eliminate the need for human security teams anytime soon.
AI SOC Faces SOAR's Past
- AI SOC is unlikely to surpass previous SOAR limitations; fully automated security remains elusive.
- Many AI SOC tools provide guidance but rely on human judgment for actions and remediation.
