The needs of the security operations center (SOC) have changed. Without automation and AI, it’s taking organizations too long to detect security incidents, and when they detect them, too long to remediate. In addition, the ever-growing data volumes handled by SOCs pose a challenge. Traditional SIEM solutions demand substantial engineering efforts, have a slow time-to-value, and predominantly rely on manual intervention by SOC analysts with a reactive security approach. This leads to increased open alerts, longer resolution times, and increased SOC analyst fatigue. Join our panel session to learn about an AI-driven security operations platform that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, can simplify security operations, stop threats at scale, and accelerate incident remediation. Hear from our internal experts and customers about how a modern SOC collects, normalizes, and intelligently stitches together data, enabling native machine learning and automation. This has yielded a decrease of over 99% in open alerts; an over 10X improvement in incident closure rate; automatic incident resolution of over 60%; and a reduction of MTTR from hours/days to minutes. Ultimately, a modern SOC frees up the SOC employees and provides users with the metrics and measurements to demonstrate effectiveness and efficiency.
