Beyond SOAR: The Rise of the AI SOC
• Understand what is driving the surge of investment in AI-assisted security operations
• Explore why both traditional rule-based automation, along with AI-driven approaches are needed in modern SOCs
• Examine how AI is influencing the decision between building an internal SOC and leveraging MDR services
• Learn the current state of AI agents within security operations and where they deliver practical value
• Understand why the future SOC remains AI-assisted rather than fully autonomous
The AI SOC market is expanding rapidly as security vendors race to deliver security automation systems that help deliver smarter triage, improved investigations, and faster responses. But not every AI claim translates into meaningful operational improvement. This webinar examines what is driving the surge of investment, which solution patterns are emerging across the market, and how security leaders should evaluate AI-assisted operations.
The session will focus on measurable outcomes, analyst augmentation, governance, explainability, and the tradeoffs between traditional workflow automation and newer agentic approaches so attendees can separate real value from market noise and make more confident strategic security investment decisions.
Matthew Gardiner, Fellow Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts will draw on the research behind The Emerging AI SOC Leadership Compass to explain how the market is being reshaped by heavy investment from both established providers and new market entrants. He will highlight which capabilities are becoming table stakes, where meaningful differentiation is emerging, and why the most credible approaches balance AI-driven analytics with evidence, explainability, and human control. Attendees will leave with a sharper understanding for evaluating offerings, prioritizing use cases, questioning bold claims, and distinguishing practical adoption from premature promises.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is intended for CISOs, SOC directors, SOC analysts, security architects, incident responders, security automation vendors, and GRC specialists responsible for evaluating and advancing modern security operations capabilities. It is particularly relevant for organizations exploring AI-assisted SOC strategies, automation, investments, and the evolving role of AI within security operations.
