Deep dives

Transitioning to AI-Native Security Operations Centers

An AI-native security operations center (SOC) transforms the traditional SOC model by leveraging AI technologies to manage data more efficiently. Traditional SOCs often struggle with alert fatigue due to the overwhelming volume of data generated from an expanded attack surface. In contrast, AI-native SOCs automate the handling of low-level tasks, allowing human analysts to focus on more complex problems that require creative solutions. This shift is likened to advances in aviation, where automated systems have taken over routine flying tasks, prompting security teams to similarly optimize operations through technology.
