AI isn't replacing SOC teams. It's elevating them.

AI has radically transformed the way SOC teams operate, but how is it affecting the people behind the work? For our recent Voice of Security 2026 report, we surveyed over 1,800 global security professionals to find out.

The results show that despite rising workloads and widespread burnout across security teams, sentiment toward AI is largely positive.

Lean teams are expected to keep critical work moving with limited time, headcount, and budget. Whether you’re responding to incidents, managing user access, or keeping systems connected behind the scenes, the reality is the same: keeping processes moving reliably is harder than it should be when resources are stretched thin. That’s why we’re introducing Tines Starter Edition, a new Tines plan for smaller organizations to begin building intelligent workflows that scale as you grow.

Futureproofing Tines: Fair share orchestration

Fair-share orchestration of resources in a tenant, especially in a multi-tenant context is a complex, multifaceted issue. It involves ensuring equitable access to shared resources, preventing system overload, and maintaining optimal performance across all customer workflows. As more customers build and trust Tines with their most important workflows, (which sees the platform handle over a billion automated actions per week), we recognized that we needed to ensure our platform's scalability.
