The evolution of the SOC

Threat trends

The volume of threats and attacks is pushing SOCs to evolve to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated threat actors.

AI in the SOC today

As AI has gotten smarter, security leaders are trusting automation to keep up with the scale and speed of attacks.

The future of SOCs

Adlumin MDR began its AI evolution two years ago, incorporating large-language models (LLMs) into our SOC workflow.

The shift in cyberthreats

There’s a dramatic change in where threats are coming from and how fast they are coming in, with more coming from the cloud and identity access than ever.

Building the future of SOCs through the power of AI

Augmenting talent

AI acts as a force multiplier by offloading routine alerts, so analysts can focus on advanced, targeted threat detection.

Identifying the threat

AI is transforming threat detection through deep pattern recognition and real-time monitoring, enabling SOCs to proactively identify emerging threats and subtle anomalies.

Accelerating response

AI accelerates response by automating analysis and reporting, enabling SOCs to contain threats faster, communicate clearly, and minimize damage with unprecedented speed and precision.

Smart security still needs smart humans

The emergence of AI in the SOC is only going to help in the fight against bad actors, but humans still play a vital role. Check out our report to see how you can strengthen your defenses and prepare for the future of cyber resilience.
