How AI is Redefining SOC Architecture

Jul 11, 2025 By Bob Boyle In Torq
If you’ve been in cybersecurity longer than five minutes, you know one thing: legacy SOC architecture isn’t just showing its age — it’s creaking under the weight of today’s threats. Cybersecurity analyst Francis Odum nailed it when presenting at Torq’s SKO 2025: “Legacy SOAR assumed everything starts in the SIEM. Now, teams connect automation directly to EDR, email, and identity systems.”.

ManageEngine Log360 launches Zia Insights, its first AI-powered contextual analytics for modern SOCs

Jul 10, 2025 By Esther Christopher In ManageEngine
Security operations centers (SOCs) have been drowning in a sea of alerts, raw logs, and siloed data for quite sometime now. A study by Morning Consult and IBM showed that 63% of alerts handled by SOCs daily are false positives or low priority, and analysts spend one-third of their day investigating these alerts. Yet, the information needed to detect, investigate, and respond to threats is often already present, just fragmented and buried. This is where AI steps in to rewrite the rules of engagement.

XDR vs. SIEM: Defeating Cyber Chaos

Jul 10, 2025 By WatchGuard Technologies In WatchGuard
Cybersecurity decision-makers face a growing challenge: defending against a rising tide of threats without drowning in operational complexity. Designed for large security teams, SIEM platforms often introduce more chaos than clarity, burdening small teams with high costs, complex deployments, and overwhelming data. In this webinar, Stephen Helm and Ricardo Arroyo will discuss the core differences between SIEM and XDR (Extended Detection and Response) and explain why XDR is emerging as the smart, scalable choice for modern MSPs and lean IT security teams.

17 Common Indicators of Compromise

Jul 9, 2025 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
On a sunny summer vacation day, your childhood self is running around a playground looking everywhere for a small piece of paper as part of a treasure hunt. Each clue you find leads to another, then another, until you finally locate the hidden treasure. Investigating a security incident is similar to this process, but instead of clues written on paper, your clues are digital artifacts that attackers left in your systems. These digital artifacts are called indicators of compromise (IoCs).

AI adoption in security: Top use cases and mistakes to avoid

Jul 8, 2025 By Elastic Security Team In Elastic
Widespread implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in security presents a paradox. On one hand, it helps security experts combat advanced threats at scale. On the other hand, AI is also contributing to the scale of sophistication of adversaries' threat campaigns. To fight fire with fire, organizations are increasingly automating security processes to make up for the uneven playing field on which they find themselves.
