Scaling up a security operations center (SOC) is inevitable for many organizations.Traditionally, SOC scaling efforts have translated to increased burdens on already-overworked analysts.The transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to reshape this trajectory.Building an AI SOC can reduce analyst workloads, increase efficiency, and improve performance.Integrating AI into SOCs can streamline the investigation process and reduce alert overload.AI can automate menial, repetitive tasks, eradicating the need for analysts to perform them significantly, reducing their workload.AI can help improve decision-making and response times by analyzing vast amounts of data and identifying patterns faster.AI is the perfect tool for keeping pace with ongoing SOC growth, allowing organizations to scale up operations while keeping costs and workloads down.The longer your AI SOC is in operation, the better it will perform.It’s important to recognize that SOC scaling is not a one-hit job; it’s an ongoing process.
