SANS SOC Survey 2025: What's holding teams back and how to move forward

The 2025 SANS SOC Survey reveals that while technology keeps evolving, the core problems facing SOC teams remain stubbornly in place. Teams are understaffed. Tool sprawl is growing. And performance metrics often miss the mark. Many SOCs lack the workflows, strategy, and staff to connect tools, streamline processes, and reduce manual work. And now they face a new challenge: making AI actually deliver value. Let’s dig into the key findings.

The extended Q+A: continuing the AI agents conversation

Last week, we hosted the Product Spotlight: Build agents in Tines, and it was a hit. We had so many questions that we couldn’t answer them all live, so we’re continuing the conversation here. Before we jump into the Q+A, here’s a quick recap of the webinar in case you missed it: In this session, Head of Product Stephen O'Brien introduced the AI Agent action and shared how it builds on our ongoing evolution of workflows.

Data is the key to building modern AI workflows

In this guest post, Eric Newcomer, Principal Analyst at Intellyx, explains why data is essential for building and running effective AI workflows. In the current phase of AI transformation, everyone is discovering many applications for gen AI, especially chats with LLM trained data, public as well as private. One interesting application of AI is building modern workflows to automate operational processes.

Product spotlight: Build agents in Tines

AI agents are here, and they’re changing the way teams build, run, and scale their workflows. Join us for a walkthrough of our newest product: the AI Agent action type. Hosted by Tines Head of Product, Stephen O’Brien, this session will introduce a new way to bring AI into your workflows, without giving up control, visibility, or security. Tune in to learn how you can now: Whether you're building workflows for IT, security, or any operational function, this new action type gives you the power to scale AI orchestration across your organization – without the black box.

ChatOps fatigue: how to create alerts that matter

In today's workplace, communication tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams are essential for staying connected at work. However, as orchestration and automation needs increase, so does the volume of notifications flooding these channels. What’s meant to streamline work can quickly become overwhelming. We call it "ChatOps fatigue" - when teams get so many alerts, they start tuning them out.

What's new in Tines: June 2025 edition

Did you hear the news? You can now build and deploy agents in Tines using the AI Agent action type - an evolution of our AI action! AI on the Storyboard just got even more powerful, with the opportunity to build your workflows as autonomous as you choose with the help of an agent. Using the tools from your tech stack, the agents you build are designed to reason, decide, and act on your behalf. Curious to see it in action?

Introducing the AI Agent action

Today, we’re announcing a way to build and deploy agents in Tines through our AI Agent action. In the AI market, AI agents suddenly seem to be everywhere – software that can autonomously think and perform tasks on behalf of the user. But we’re still very early in the adoption curve of agents. One thing we’ve noticed is that most solutions can’t handle the varying complexities of mission-critical workflows.
