Three SOC Threats Solved in Minutes with Torq Hyperautomation

Your SOC exists for one core reason: to rapidly reduce the mean time to detect, investigate, and respond to threats. The more efficiently your team operates, the faster you reduce essential KPIs like MTTR, MTTD, MTTI, and what we call ‘MTTx’ (mean time to anything). Ask our Field CISO, Patrick Orzechowski (PO), and he’ll tell you straight: If your SOC isn’t relentlessly focused on reducing risk through speed, you’re falling behind. Talking about efficiency is easy.

Enter the SOC of the Future in Splunk's State of Security 2025

SOC leaders that aren’t thinking about the future are already behind — and what’s beyond 2025 is rapid evolution. The breakneck pace of AI innovation, a widening skills gap, and increasingly sophisticated threat tactics will encourage (one could even say force) SOC teams to embrace forward-leaning strategies to stay resilient.

Introducing Modern SecOps, a more realistic alternative to the "autonomous SOC"

I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with traditional SOC. Many SOC teams do great work within this structure.

In the push to address these limitations, the concept of an “autonomous SOC” has emerged, with some vendors already claiming to offer fully autonomous solutions.
