AI Investment Is Surging. Is the SOC Ready?
Cybersecurity automation is reaching a new stage of adoption.
99.6% of respondents report increased budgets for AI in cybersecurity automation. 96% say automation is important, and 87% are already using AI to some extent.
But the research reveals a more complicated picture beneath those numbers. Organizations are still deciding how much autonomy to give AI, which decisions require human oversight, how SOC roles need to evolve, and whether governance is keeping pace.
Investment Is Only Part of the Story
Growing adoption is creating new questions about how security operations should work.
How much execution are organizations comfortable handing to AI? Where are humans staying in the loop? Are security teams retraining existing analysts or adding entirely new skills? And how mature are the governance programs responsible for keeping automation accountable?
The findings show a market moving quickly, with operating models still taking shape.
