The 2026 AI SOC Leadership Report: What 450 Security Leaders Told Us

See how Torq harnesses AI in your SOC to detect, prioritize, and respond to threats faster. Request a Demo When we started building Torq four years ago, we had a thesis: the SOC was broken, and automation — real automation, not another tool bolted onto the stack — was the way to fix it. AI has since changed the game entirely. But has it streamlined the SOC, or introduced new complexity? We wanted to find out.

For managed security service providers (MSSPs), alert fatigue doesn’t just burn out your analysts: it’s a real risk to your business. From the financial costs of missed SLAs and security incidents to the customer trust lost when critical alerts are overlooked, alert fatigue negatively impacts customer outcomes, client retention, and your profitability.

Their aim was to do something prior guidance intentionally avoided: move Zero Trust from architectural alignment to operational execution. That timing matters. Zero Trust has been a framework for years and rightly so. Like a quality standard, it is designed to evolve. The same tools, techniques, and skills shaping modern cyber defense are available to both friend and foe.
