AI in the SOC: Why Complete Autonomy Is the Wrong Goal

AI in the SOC: Why Complete Autonomy Is the Wrong Goal

Feb 17, 2026 By Dan Petrillo, VP of Product In BlueVoyant
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more deeply embedded in security operations, a divide has emerged in how its role is defined. Some argue the security operations centre (SOC) should be fully autonomous, with AI replacing human analysts. Others believe that augmentation is the right path, using AI to support and extend existing teams. Augmentation probably reflects how SOCs operate in practice. It helps analysts triage alerts, investigate incidents faster, and it brings better context into their work, while still ensuring humans are accountable for decisions.

How to Scale SOC Automation with Falcon Fusion SOAR

Feb 11, 2026 By Paola Miranda In CrowdStrike
Most SOC teams don’t struggle with what they need to automate — they struggle with where to start. Between complex playbooks, brittle integrations, and the fear of breaking something in production, security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) often feels harder to adopt than it should be.

The Human-AI Alliance in Security Operations

Feb 10, 2026 By The Graylog Product Team In Graylog
Picture a SOC analyst starting an investigation. A suspicious spike in authentication activity appears on their dashboard, and they need to understand what’s happening quickly. To do that, they move through a familiar sequence of tools. What begins as a single investigation quickly turns into a chain of context switches: That’s nine steps to investigate one event. This isn’t accidental. Security tools have evolved to solve isolated problems, but together they have created fragmentation.

Agentic SOC in Practice Where Human Analysts Still Matter Most

Feb 6, 2026 By SafeAeon Inc. In SafeAeon
Security operations centers (SOCs) are changing rapidly. Automation is playing a key role in how SOCs make decisions and proceed with investigations. This change has raised an important question: ‘If systems start acting on their own, why would human analysts be used?’ Agentic SOC is not going to remove people from security operations. It is about changing the way work is done and where analysts can apply their judgment.

What Are Insider Threats?

Feb 5, 2026 By Arctic Wolf Networks In Arctic Wolf
Cybersecurity isn’t only about defending against external attackers. Some of the most damaging risks come from within an organization. These are known as insider threats. An insider threat occurs when someone with authorized access—whether intentionally malicious or simply negligent—compromises systems, exposes data, or undermines security controls. This can result in data breaches, financial loss, regulatory issues, and long‑term reputational damage.

What Is Phishing?

Feb 5, 2026 By Arctic Wolf Networks In Arctic Wolf
Phishing remains one of the most widespread and damaging cyber threats facing organizations today. Attackers craft deceptive messages designed to trick users into revealing credentials, financial information, or installing malware. To make matters worse, the tactics continue to evolve. Originating in the mid‑1990s, phishing has grown into a sophisticated weapon. Modern attackers now use AI, social media intelligence, and high‑quality impersonation techniques to create convincing campaigns that are harder than ever to detect.
